Disease Dictated Diet
Video
Description
In order to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine report outlines how to develop dietary reference intakes.
Half of all U.S. adults have at least one chronic health condition such as hypertension or coronary heart disease. Diet can be a contributing factor.
Dietary reference intakes are a set of reference intake values that include the Estimated Average Requirement, Recommended Dietary Allowance, Adequate Intake and Tolerable Upper Intake Level for more than 40 nutrients and food substances. They are based on age, sex and life stage.
