The New Food Pyramid: someone else effort At Providing Easy Answers

The Food Pyramid, first introduced to the Us in 1992, just experienced a major overhaul. Why? perhaps proper schooling about nourishment isn't as easy as picking out food from a colorful chart. Last month, The New England Journal of medicine reported that childhood obesity was causing a stepping back in mean lifespan. That report seems to only cover part of the picture as lasting disease, such as cardiac dysfunction and Type Ii Diabetes have been on a steady rise in new years. Because many people seem to be unwilling to learn how to make best lifestyle choices, it is only the toxic pharmaceutical drugs that seem to be extending the lives of these people.

Agriculture secretary Mike Johanns described the old food pyramid as being "quite familiar" to most Americans, "but few Americans supervene the recommendations." The solution, found at http://www.mypyramid.gov, is apparently more colors and to make the bands trip downwards instead of horizontally. Yes, that counts as a clarification where french fries and catsup count as two servings of vegetables in the school lunch program.

The Food Pyramid

Well, some enlarge is best than no progress. On a clear note, the new dietary guidelines do suggest daily physical activity. If even a few people get out of their chairs because their government tells them too, these changes, and the charge of the marketing for all of this will be well-worth our tax dollars.

What is left out of these dietary guidelines is any source of schooling on timing of food intake. For example, how many of you are late-night eaters? perhaps you have a bowl of cereal before bed? What do the cells do with all the extra starch and glucose as you sleep? The answer is they store it in the fat cells. If you think of a caveman, or woodland creature, bulking up before hibernation, you get the picture.

A best diet doesn't have to be entirely about sacrifice. It's more about best decisions. I'm not saying to stop eating ice cream. Consider some Wheat Germ or Grape Nuts as a toping. Both are exquisite sources of dietary fiber and vital nutrients like Vitamin E, folate (folic acid), phosphorous, thiamin, zinc and magnesium. You get to have a tasty snack and sneak some nourishment straight through the teeth. Just don't eat it as a midnight snack!
