Estados Unidos dio a conocer una actualización de su pirámide alimentaria como parte de las Guías 2025-2030. Resulta de importancia resaltar que si bien se la presenta como novedosa la misma brinda recomendaciones que ya se vienen promoviendo desde hace varios años atrás.
This initiative generated debate in the scientific and nutritional community, especially in relation to the published image, as it could lead to erroneous interpretations. For example, in the pyramid, meat and butter are ranked at the upper level, while cereals are ranked at the lower level, which may imply that the consumption of saturated fats is encouraged. However, in the complementary text to the image it is clarified that it is not recommended that more than 10% of the fats ingested in the day come from these fats (animal fats). On the contrary, the importance of prioritizing the consumption of foods that are sources of unsaturated fats, such as avocado, nuts, seeds and olive oil, of vegetable origin is emphasized.
We emphasize the importance of a correct reading of its recommendations for a proper interpretation of them. In this way, it is possible to identify messages that, for the most part, coincide with the principles that are promoted in the diet of La Posada del Qenti. Within them we emphasize: the incorporation of various sources of protein, both of animal and vegetable origin, such as legumes, the habitual consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which promotes the consumption of fiber and prebiotics, all recommendations that positively impact the health of the intestinal microbiota. It also emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the consumption of real food, food without packages, wrappers, preservatives or additives, closer to the earth and to the nutrients that our body needs to be in harmony and healthy.
Por lo tanto desde el Equipo de Nutrición de La Posada del Qenti, acompañamos y sugerimos en las siguientes recomendaciones:
- Limit the consumption of packaging and ultra-processed products.
- Consumir frutas y verduras todos los días.
- Disminuir el consumo de cereales azucarados pero no evitar la ingesta de cereales integrales. Entre ellos encontramos la avena, pan integral o galletas integrales de trigo, avena o centeno
- Priorizar las grasas insaturadas provenientes de palta, frutos secos y aceite como el de oliva por encima de las grasas como la manteca, crema o grasa bovina.
- Sumar proteínas de ambas fuentes, animales ( carnes magras, huevo o quesos magros) y de origen vegetale (legumbres y algunos cereales como la quinoa).
- Completar estas recomendaciones con actividad física regular,descanso de calidad y cuidado de los niveles de estrés.
