Abstract

The occurrence and management of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are associated with an unbalanced diet. Recent food-based dietary guidelines to reduce the risk of NCDs include eating plenty of plant-based foods and choosing foods which are lower in saturated fat, salt, and sugars. For animal foods, including meat and dairy, only modest amounts are required as part of a healthy balanced diet. More emphasis should be placed on increasing the adherence to these guidelines and on the role of optimal nutrition in disease management.
