Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025

Every five years, the United States Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) release an updated edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs). The latest edition reflects the current body of nutrition science. It is meant to provide guidance on what to eat and drink to meet nutritional needs, promote health, and prevent disease.

Just as we follow specific nutrition guidelines when preparing school meals for our students, the DGAs give us as consumers a framework to follow when preparing meals for ourselves at home. Regardless of the time of the year, it is important that we take care of ourselves and give our bodies the nutrients they need to flourish.
