8 New-School Food Rules Nutrition Experts Want You to Follow - Real Simple
Forget what you heard about the food pyramid.
Just like fashion and beauty, nutritionists say food trends are changing for the better—and as we evolve, so too should our eating habits. There's a good chance you're not eating like the generations that came before you, and for good reason.
"In the 1950s, getting your daily amount of red meat paired with a starchy potato and washing it down with a glass of dairy milk was considered the standard of health," says Olivia Audrey, a board-certified doctor of natural medicine and host of the Liv Better podcast. "As science has uncovered the link between chronic inflammation (meat and dairy are both major contributors to inflammation), we've revealed that changing the way we once ate may mean the difference between living longer, healthier lives," she explains. "The food pyramid and standard American diet (SAD) are in dire need of a rehaul to reflect scientific findings and hold food producers to stronger rules for food quality."
Whether a result of diet fads or groundbreaking studies, read on as nutritional experts speak to what they consider some of the biggest shifts taking place when it comes to how we think about food, and offer tips for planning your grocery lists moving forward.
