BOSTON — In this video, Janet M. de Jesus, MS, RD, a nutrition advisor at the HHS’ Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, provides an update on the development of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030 edition.
de Jesus recently presented this update during a session at NUTRITION 2023. She said the guidelines provide “science-based advice on nutrition intake to meet nutrient needs, promote health and prevent chronic disease.”
“They are written for a professional audience, including health care providers, and they provide a customizable framework for healthy eating that can be tailored and adapted to meet personal and cultural preferences and budgetary considerations,” she said.
de Jesus also discussed how primary care physicians can incorporate the current edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans into practice, which include recommendations for all stages of life.
“This includes all the way from birth and infants ... pregnant and lactating people, all the way to older adulthood,” she said. “Therefore, health care professionals can find dietary guidance for all life stages, organized by chapters in the full dietary guidelines document.”
