 Scientists and officials advise us to balance our food intake roughly in the following proportions: 33% of fruits and vegetables. 33% of bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods – choose wholegrain varieties whenever you can. 13% of milk and dairy food. About 13% of meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein. Not to much foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar. World Health Organization The World Health Organization (WHO) makes the following 5 recommendations with respect to both populations and individuals: 1) Achieve an energy balance and a healthy weight. 2) Limit energy intake from total fats and shift fat consumption away from saturated fats to unsaturated fats and towards the elimination of trans-fatty acids. 3) Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts. 4) Limit the intake of simple sugars. 5) Limit salt / sodium consumption from all sources and ensure that salt is iodized.
