Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Chapter 5 Review and Expand 126 Reading Summary Experts have developed a number of tools to help people evaluate their diets and make wise food choices. The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are reference values for nutrients and food components that can be used to plan and assess diets for healthy people. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans provides information and guidance to promote healthy eating across the life span. The goal is to help reduce the risks of chronic diseases. The MyPlate food guidance system can be used to plan and implement a healthy diet. The DASH Diet and Food Lists system are other healthy eating plans. Food labels display information to help you determine how a food product contributes to your daily nutrient needs. A food journal can be used to keep track of the kinds and amounts of foods and beverages consumed on a daily basis. This information can be analyzed to determine if an individual’s daily nutrient needs are being met. Use the recommendations and tools from the ChooseMyPlate website to plan balanced menus and track progress toward meeting nutrient needs. Chapter Vocabulary 1.
