Nutrition Guidance
Personalized, Practical & Culturally Sensitive Care
Getting Nutrition Guidance
For years, the food pyramid has been used as a guide to healthy eating.
However, today’s diets are far more diverse. Many commonly eaten foods across cultures—such as tortillas, bok choy, edamame, and spices—are not represented, making the guidelines harder for many people to follow. Nutrition experts have also questioned whether the pyramid reflects current research, noting its heavy emphasis on dairy and meat and limited focus on plant-based and whole foods.
Modern nutrition is not one-size-fits-all. People benefit most from personalized dietary guidance that considers cultural food choices, lifestyle, and individual health needs.

Healthy Eating Myths Explained: What Your Body Really Needs
A large number of people experience stomach pain, bloating, gas, or diarrhea after consuming milk and dairy products. This happens due to lactose intolerance, a condition where the body cannot properly digest milk sugar.
Nearly 90% of Asians, 70% of African-Americans and Native Americans, and 50% of Latinos are lactose intolerant
Avoiding dairy often leads to low calcium intake, which is essential for strong bones
Many people stop dairy without replacing it with other calcium-rich foods
Good news: You don’t need milk to maintain healthy bones.
Calcium is vital for bone strength, especially for women. If dairy doesn’t suit you, there are excellent alternatives.
Calcium-rich options include:
Broccoli, collard greens, spinach, and other dark leafy vegetables
Lactose-free milk products
Yogurt and buttermilk, which contain natural bacteria that help digest lactose
These options help you meet your calcium needs without digestive discomfort.
👉 Talk to your doctor about the best calcium sources for your body.
Not all fats are bad. In fact, healthy fats protect your heart and support overall wellness.
Unsaturated fats improve cholesterol levels
Mediterranean diets, known for heart health, contain higher healthy fat intake
Saturated fats are the real concern, not healthy oils
Best fats to include:
Canola oil and fish oil
Nuts, seeds, avocados
Fatty fish like salmon and mackerel
Limit: butter, cream, palm oil, coconut oil, and animal fats.
Nuts are often grouped with meat due to protein content, but they offer unique health benefits.
Why nuts are special:
Rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin E
Linked to lower risk of heart disease and certain cancers
Plant-based and heart-friendly
Healthy nut choices include:
Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans
Brazil nuts and cashews
⚠️ Nuts are calorie-dense, so portion control is important.
Different cultures and lifestyles need different dietary approaches.
Alternative food pyramids exist for Arabic, Russian, Mediterranean, and other diets
Nutrition guidelines should work for all ages and backgrounds
Personal preferences and medical needs matter
What’s important is balance, not perfection.
Despite all the diet trends, the fundamentals remain the same.
Key healthy habits:
Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily
Choose whole grains over refined foods
Reduce added sugars and unhealthy fats
Focus on fiber-rich, natural foods
These simple steps form the foundation of long-term health.
