Nutrition, HEALTH & WELLNESS

CHOOSE MY PLATE
The Food Plate recently replaced the USDA's Food Pyramid. Nutrition experts believe a plate is a powerful visual cue to help people adopt healthy eating habits at meal times. It has four-colored sections representing fruits, vegetables, grains and proteins. Next to the plate is a smaller circle representing dairy products. On MyPlate's website, the USDA emphasizes several important nutrition messages: eat smaller portions, make at least half the plate fruits and vegetables and avoid sugary drinks.
