A healthy diet is a requirement for good health. To promote healthy diets throughout the life cycle, context-specific and tailor-made recommendations are needed for different target groups. The Daily Recommended Intakes for Energy and Nutrients as presented in a previous food-pedia page can be used as a starting point for public policies and nutrition education programs. However these recommendations need to be translated into practical information using language and symbols that the public can easily understand. The information should focus on foods (groups) that are commonly consumed, on portion sizes, as well as on related behavior and care.
