results Healthy food is essential to good health Access to healthy food is often taken for

granted by those who live in cities or large towns

Cost of living is greater the more remote you reside

Cost of healthy food has increase more than non healthy foods

Page 6: Promoting Healthy eating

results Higher prices are barriers to good health

among lower socio economic group

Generally the overall objective of food and nutrition survey is to provide food and nutrition data to assist with the implementation of Australia’s food and nutrition policy

Page 7: Promoting Healthy eating

Nutrient Reference Values EAR Estimated average requirement

To meet the requirements of half the average healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group

Page 8: Promoting Healthy eating

Nutrient reference Value RDI Recommended daily intake

To meet the nutritional requirements of nearly all 97 – 98% of healthy individuals in a particular age and gender group

Page 9: Promoting Healthy eating

Nutrient Reference Values UL Upper level intake

The highest average daily nutrient intake level likely to pose no adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general population.

As intake increases so does the risk increase of adverse effects

Page 10: Promoting Healthy eating

RDI to NRV RDI has been replaced by NRV as a

result of the RDI being limiting due to its direction towards groups and not the individual

The NRV allows greater diversity of understanding all nutrient value and the appropriate ranges for inadequate and over consumption of specific nutrients

Public Health and Nutrition Strategies Goal of strategy is to decrease the rate

of diet related diseases in Australia

Dietary Guidelines for Australians Australian Guide to Healthy Eating

Page 12: Promoting Healthy eating

Dietary Guidelines for Australians Enjoy a wide variety of nutritious foods

-Foods from all 5 food groups -Some foods are enjoyment foods or extras

Eat plenty of vegetables, legumes and fruit -constitutes a lg proportion of

recommended intake

Page 13: Promoting Healthy eating

cont Eat plenty of cereals (including breads,

rice, pasta, and noodles) - represents the largest proportion of the

‘pie’

Include lean meat, fish, poultry and /or alternatives and include milk, yoghurts, cheeses and/or alteratives

Page 14: Promoting Healthy eating

cont -Choose the low fat varieties -Should be included but we don’t need

too many of them.

Drinking plenty of water - not included as one of the 5 food

groups

Page 15: Promoting Healthy eating

Cont. Limit saturated fat and moderate total fat

intake -encourage the low fat selection of milk

and meats for eg.

Choose foods low in salt and consume only moderate amounts of sugars and foods containing added sugar.

-classified as extras/ sometimes foods

Australian Guide to Healthy Eating Pie graph Segments are proportional to the

amount required in a healthy diet Foods are grouped on the basis of

nutrients they provide Five basic food groups(largest to

smallest)

Page 17: Promoting Healthy eating

Bread, cereal, rice, pasta and noodles Vegetables and legumes Fruit Milk yoghurt and cheese Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts and

legumes

Flexible in its uses by adjusting the number of recommended servings from each group.

Page 20: Promoting Healthy eating

Strengths of AGHE Effective foods to promote healthy

eating Recognition of nutritional needs varying During stages of the lifespan Age Sex Body shape Level of physical activity

Page 21: Promoting Healthy eating

strengths Adapted for nutritional needs through

the number of serving sizes for groups Children Adolescent Pregnant and lactating women

Page 22: Promoting Healthy eating

strengths Modified for population groups and cultural

groups Sample serving sizes for each group are

emphasized Sample serves can be adapted to individual

preferences Flexibility in eating preferences, encourage

eating patterns Assist adults to lose excess body weight Visual and colourful makes it easy to follow

Page 23: Promoting Healthy eating

weaknesses Poor food selection may result in a diet with

high intakes of fat, salt and sugar and insufficient fibre

Individuals require additional information to select the correct serving sizes

Flexibility can also make interpreting the food guide confusing

Extras foods are too difficult to calculate as they are based on KJ value eg. 1 serving may represent 2 serves of extra foods
