Big news in nutrition!
The new food guide pyramid has been flipped — protein and healthy fats are now at the foundation. 🙌
For decades, we were building our health on a shaky foundation, influenced more by marketing and money than science.
It’s exciting to see government guidelines finally aligning with what I’ve been teaching as a nutrition professional: protein and real, whole foods aren’t optional—they’re essential. This isn’t just about what’s on our plates—it’s about the long-term impact on our bodies, energy, and overall well-being.
I’m hopeful this shift will ripple through schools, hospitals, wellness programs, and organizations like the USDA, CDC, and major nutrition advocacy groups.
Imagine the impact in a few years: less diabetes, obesity, heart disease, hypertension, fatty liver, and metabolic syndrome. Real food for real health. 🌱
And here’s something to really think about: the more we embrace a foundation of protein, healthy fats, and minimally processed foods, the more we empower the next generation to grow up with strong bodies, sharp minds, and fewer chronic illnesses. This is a game-changer, not just for adults, but for kids, families, and communities.
