Dietary Guidance

Dietary guidelines are a translation of scientific knowledge on nutrients into specific dietary advice. They represent the recommended dietary allowances of nutrients in terms of diets that should be consumed by the population. The guidelines promote the concept of nutritionally adequate diets and healthy lifestyles from the time of conception to old age. Formulation of dietary goals and specific guidelines would help in providing required guidance to people in ensuring nutritional adequacy.


Food and nutrition play a crucial role in health promotion and chronic disease prevention.
