What Should You Really Be Eating?

Forget the old Food Guide Pyramid model released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and forget the USDA's new model as well, MyPyramid. There's a new food guide pyramid in town, it's called the Healthy Eating Pyramid.

Released by the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, the Healthy Eating Pyramid is easy to understand and backed by hard science and the latest research. The food pyramids released by the USDA are backed by shaky evidence and lobbying efforts from commercial food organizations.

The Healthy Eating Pyramid's foundation is daily exercise and weight control. Why? Because those two elements greatly influence your overall health.

The next level consists of three food groups, WHOLE grains, fresh fruits and veggies, and healthy fats and oils.

I emphasize whole grains because for some reason USDA's MyPyramid guidelines state that it's okay that half of your grain intake consists of refined grains. Refined grains essentially act as sugar when ingested, have negative effects on metabolism and increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Whole grains have almost the opposite effect, they keep blood insulin and sugar levels stable and research suggests that diets rich in whole grains reduce the risks of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The benefits of fresh fruits and veggies are widely known, including lowered risk of heart attack and stroke, possible increased resistance to cancers, and lower blood pressure.

Surprised fats and oils are close to the foundation? Healthy fats of course can improve cholesterol levels and keep your heart beating steady by protecting it against sudden and dangerous rhythm problems.

The next level on the pyramid consists of two groups. Fish, poultry & eggs and nuts, seeds, beans & tofu. Nuts, seeds, beans & tofu are great sources of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Many nuts contain healthy fats and are good for your heart. Fish, poultry & eggs are great sources of protein. Certain kinds of fish such as salmon are high in omega-3 fats, which are good for your heart. Chicken and turkey can be low in saturated fat and are plentiful protein sources.  Eggs are a little high in cholesterol, but are still excellent sources of protein and nutrients. People with heart disease should avoid the yolks, but egg whites are okay.

The 2nd highest level on the pyramid is dairy, at 1-2 servings a day. Although a good source of calcium, dairy products such as milk are high in saturated fat. Did you know 3 glasses of milk contains as much saturated fat as 13 slices of bacon? Try to stick to low-fat or non-fat milk products.

The top of the pyramid is the familiar use sparingly category which includes foods such as red meat & butter, refined grains, potatoes, sugary drinks & sweets and salt.

The Healthy Eating Pyramid also includes some optional things for your diet, including a daily multivitamin and some moderate alcohol consumption. Although not for everyone,
many studies suggest alcohol has numerous benefits for heart health.

Overall, the Healthy Eating Pyramid is focused on quality of food and nutrition as opposed to focusing on numbers or how many servings one should consume. As long as you eat more foods from the foundation of the pyramid and fewer foods from higher levels, you will be following a healthy and sound diet.
