Building a Healthy Plate

In a world of conflicting nutrition messages, how do we know which foods are good for us? What are the components of a healthy dietary pattern and why does it matter? Throughout this mini course, we explore the relationship between diet and health by examining the eating patterns that have been shown to prevent chronic diet-related conditions. We touch on the nutritional components of the foods and beverages common in healthy eating patterns and explore strategies that can help you make the shift to better food choices. By the end of this course, you should feel more confident identifying and building a healthy plate. This course is offered by the Gerald D. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.

It is interesting. There are beautiful images to demonstrate. I find that having the charts and tables to show the comparisons are helpful to understand.
