Today’s Solutions: April 09, 2025

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee meets every five years to revise dietary suggestions set in place by the previous panel. The latest panel just adjourned their meeting and released new dietary suggestions this week that backtracked on cholesterol warnings, but said US citizens eat too much sugar and salt. A main take away from the guidelines is advice to move away from looking at the nutrient levels of an individual dish and to focus more on wholesome eating patterns that include more fruits and vegetables. And what diet do they suggest the most? The Mediterranean diet, the same one we have been heralding for its health benefits for more than a decade.
