Make Every Bite Count with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025
Avocados are a good source of folate, which is vital for fetal brain and spinal cord development. Consuming enough folate may reduce the risk of premature births and congenital disabilities.”
The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs) builds upon the dietary patterns approach from the previous version, taking it a step further by focusing on the importance of encouraging these healthy dietary patterns at every stage of life. This is the first time since the 1985 edition that the Guidelines provide recommendations by stage of life, from birth to older adulthood, including pregnancy and lactation. It includes guidance based upon more age-specific needs while considering how certain characteristics should be carried forward into the next stage as well, to support good nutrition habits for a lifetime.
The call to action, “Make Every Bite Count”, emphasizes focusing on nutrient-rich foods and beverages while staying within your calorie limit.
Tune in to this podcast with guest Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDE, LDN, CPT to learn about:
Key takeaways regarding the recently updated DGAs, focusing on maternal, infant and early childhood nutrition
The term “nutrient-dense” and it’s application to maternal, infant and early childhood life stages
The potential role of avocados in healthy eating patterns across the lifespan and specific attributes of avocados that are beneficial for maternal, infant and early childhood nutrition
Practical and actionable ways to incorporate nutrient-dense foods, like avocados, as part of an age and life stage-appropriate diet
Avocados have a smooth texture, neutral flavor and nutrient-dense profile, which makes them possibly one of the most ideal fruits—and possibly foods—for complementary and transitional feeding.”
