Consuming a healthy diet throughout the life-course helps to prevent malnutrition in all its forms as well as a range of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and conditions. However, increased production of processed foods, rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles have led to a shift in dietary patterns. People are now consuming more foods high in energy, fats, free sugars and salt/sodium, and many people do not eat enough fruit, vegetables and other dietary fibre such as whole grains.

The exact make-up of a diversified, balanced and healthy diet will vary depending on individual characteristics (e.g. age, gender, lifestyle and degree of physical activity), cultural context, locally available foods and dietary customs. However, the basic principles of what constitutes a healthy diet remain the same.

For adults

A healthy diet includes the following:

Fruit, vegetables, legumes (e.g. lentils and beans), nuts and whole grains (e.g. unprocessed maize, millet, oats, wheat and brown rice).

At least 400 g (i.e. five portions) of fruit and vegetables per day (2), excluding potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava and other starchy roots.

Less than 10% of total energy intake from free sugars (2, 7), which is equivalent to 50 g (or about 12 level teaspoons) for a person of healthy body weight consuming about 2000 calories per day, but ideally is less than 5% of total energy intake for additional health benefits(7). Free sugars are all sugars added to foods or drinks by the manufacturer, cook or consumer, as well as sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates.

Less than 30% of total energy intake from fats (1, 2, 3). Unsaturated fats (found in fish, avocado and nuts, and in sunflower, soybean, canola and olive oils) are preferable to saturated fats (found in fatty meat, butter, palm and coconut oil, cream, cheese, ghee and lard) andtrans-fats of all kinds, including both industrially-produced trans-fats (found in baked and fried foods, and pre-packaged snacks and foods, such as frozen pizza, pies, cookies, biscuits, wafers, and cooking oils and spreads) and ruminanttrans-fats (found in meat and dairy foods from ruminant animals, such as cows, sheep, goats and camels). It is suggested that the intake of saturated fats be reduced to less than 10% of total energy intake andtrans-fats to less than 1% of total energy intake (5). In particular, industrially-produced trans-fats are not part of a healthy diet and should be avoided (4, 6).

Less than 5 g of salt (equivalent to about one teaspoon) per day (8). Salt should be iodized.

For infants and young children

In the first 2 years of a child's life, optimal nutrition fosters healthy growth and improves cognitive development. It also reduces the risk of becoming overweight or obese and developing NCDs later in life.

Advice on a healthy diet for infants and children is similar to that for adults, but the following elements are also important:

Infants should be breastfed exclusively during the first 6 months of life.

Infants should be breastfed continuously until 2 years of age and beyond.

From 6 months of age, breast milk should be complemented with a variety of adequate, safe and nutrient-dense foods. Salt and sugars should not be added to complementary foods.

Practical advice on maintaining a healthy diet

Fruit and vegetables

Eating at least 400 g, or five portions, of fruit and vegetables per day reduces the risk of NCDs (2) and helps to ensure an adequate daily intake of dietary fibre.

Fruit and vegetable intake can be improved by:

always including vegetables in meals;

eating fresh fruit and raw vegetables as snacks;

eating fresh fruit and vegetables that are in season; and

eating a variety of fruit and vegetables.

Fats

Reducing the amount of total fat intake to less than 30% of total energy intake helps to prevent unhealthy weight gain in the adult population (1, 2, 3). Also, the risk of developing NCDs is lowered by:

reducing saturated fats to less than 10% of total energy intake;

reducing trans-fats to less than 1% of total energy intake; and

replacing both saturated fats and trans-fats with unsaturated fats (2, 3) - in particular, with polyunsaturated fats.

Fat intake, especially saturated fat and industrially-produced trans- fat intake, can be reduced by:

steaming or boiling instead of frying when cooking;

replacing butter, lard and ghee with oils rich in polyunsaturated fats, such as soybean, canola (rapeseed), corn, safflower and sunflower oils;

eating reduced-fat dairy foods and lean meats, or trimming visible fat from meat; and

limiting the consumption of baked and fried foods, and pre-packaged snacks and foods (e.g. doughnuts, cakes, pies, cookies, biscuits and wafers) that contain industrially-produced trans-fats.

Salt, sodium and potassium

Most people consume too much sodium through salt (corresponding to consuming an average of 9-12 g of salt per day) and not enough potassium (less than 3.5 g). High sodium intake and insufficient potassium intake contribute to high blood pressure, which in turn increases the risk of heart disease and stroke (8, 11).

Reducing salt intake to the recommended level of less than 5 g per day could prevent 1.7 million deaths each year (12).

People are often unaware of the amount of salt they consume. In many countries, most salt comes from processed foods (e.g. ready meals; processed meats such as bacon, ham and salami; cheese; and salty snacks) or from foods consumed frequently in large amounts (e.g. bread). Salt is also added to foods during cooking (e.g. bouillon, stock cubes, soy sauce and fish sauce) or at the point of consumption (e.g. table salt).

Salt intake can be reduced by:

limiting the amount of salt and high-sodium condiments (e.g. soy sauce, fish sauce and bouillon) when cooking and preparing foods;

not having salt or high-sodium sauces on the table;

limiting the consumption of salty snacks; and

choosing products with lower sodium content.

Some food manufacturers are reformulating recipes to reduce the sodium content of their products, and people should be encouraged to check nutrition labels to see how much sodium is in a product before purchasing or consuming it.

Potassium can mitigate the negative effects of elevated sodium consumption on blood pressure. Intake of potassium can be increased by consuming fresh fruit and vegetables.

Sugars

In both adults and children, the intake of free sugars should be reduced to less than 10% of total energy intake (2, 7). A reduction to less than 5% of total energy intake would provide additional health benefits (7).

Consuming free sugars increases the risk of dental caries (tooth decay). Excess calories from foods and drinks high in free sugars also contribute to unhealthy weight gain, which can lead to overweight and obesity. Recent evidence also shows that free sugars influence blood pressure and serum lipids, and suggests that a reduction in free sugars intake reduces risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (13).

Sugars intake can be reduced by:

limiting the consumption of foods and drinks containing high amounts of sugars, such as sugary snacks, candies and sugar-sweetened beverages (i.e. all types of beverages containing free sugars - these include carbonated or non‐carbonated soft drinks, fruit or vegetable juices and drinks, liquid and powder concentrates, flavoured water, energy and sports drinks, ready‐to‐drink tea, ready‐to‐drink coffee and flavoured milk drinks); and

eating fresh fruit and raw vegetables as snacks instead of sugary snacks.

How to promote healthy diets

Diet evolves over time, being influenced by many social and economic factors that interact in a complex manner to shape individual dietary patterns. These factors include income, food prices (which will affect the availability and affordability of healthy foods), individual preferences and beliefs, cultural traditions, and geographical and environmental aspects (including climate change). Therefore, promoting a healthy food environment - including food systems that promote a diversified, balanced and healthy diet - requires the involvement of multiple sectors and stakeholders, including government, and the public and private sectors.

Governments have a central role in creating a healthy food environment that enables people to adopt and maintain healthy dietary practices. Effective actions by policy-makers to create a healthy food environment include the following:

Creating coherence in national policies and investment plans - including trade, food and agricultural policies - to promote a healthy diet and protect public health through:

increasing incentives for producers and retailers to grow, use and sell fresh fruit and vegetables;

reducing incentives for the food industry to continue or increase production of processed foods containing high levels of saturated fats, trans-fats, free sugars and salt/sodium;

encouraging reformulation of food products to reduce the contents of saturated fats, trans-fats, free sugars and salt/sodium, with the goal of eliminating industrially-produced trans-fats;

implementing the WHO recommendations on the marketing of foods and non-alcoholic beverages to children;

establishing standards to foster healthy dietary practices through ensuring the availability of healthy, nutritious, safe and affordable foods in pre-schools, schools, other public institutions and the workplace;

exploring regulatory and voluntary instruments (e.g. marketing regulations and nutrition labelling policies), and economic incentives or disincentives (e.g. taxation and subsidies) to promote a healthy diet; and

encouraging transnational, national and local food services and catering outlets to improve the nutritional quality of their foods - ensuring the availability and affordability of healthy choices - and review portion sizes and pricing.

Encouraging consumer demand for healthy foods and meals through:

promoting consumer awareness of a healthy diet;

developing school policies and programmes that encourage children to adopt and maintain a healthy diet;

educating children, adolescents and adults about nutrition and healthy dietary practices;

encouraging culinary skills, including in children through schools;

supporting point-of-sale information, including through nutrition labelling that ensures accurate, standardized and comprehensible information on nutrient contents in foods (in line with the Codex Alimentarius Commission guidelines), with the addition of front-of-pack labelling to facilitate consumer understanding; and

providing nutrition and dietary counselling at primary health-care facilities.

Promoting appropriate infant and young child feeding practices through:

implementing the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes and subsequent relevant World Health Assembly resolutions;

implementing policies and practices to promote protection of working mothers; and

promoting, protecting and supporting breastfeeding in health services and the community, including through the Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative.

WHO response

The "WHO Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health" (14) was adopted in 2004 by the Health Assembly. The strategy called on governments, WHO, international partners, the private sector and civil society to take action at global, regional and local levels to support healthy diets and physical activity.

In 2010, the Health Assembly endorsed a set of recommendations on the marketing of foods and non-alcoholic beverages to children (15). These recommendations guide countries in designing new policies and improving existing ones to reduce the impact on children of the marketing of foods and non-alcoholic beverages to children. WHO has also developed region-specific tools (such as regional nutrient profile models) that countries can use to implement the marketing recommendations.

In 2012, the Health Assembly adopted a "Comprehensive Implementation Plan on Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition" and six global nutrition targets to be achieved by 2025, including the reduction of stunting, wasting and overweight in children, the improvement of breastfeeding, and the reduction of anaemia and low birthweight (9).

In 2013, the Health Assembly agreed to nine global voluntary targets for the prevention and control of NCDs. These targets include a halt to the rise in diabetes and obesity, and a 30% relative reduction in the intake of salt by 2025. The "Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases 2013-2020" (10) provides guidance and policy options for Member States, WHO and other United Nations agencies to achieve the targets.

With many countries now seeing a rapid rise in obesity among infants and children, in May 2014 WHO set up the Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity. In 2016, the Commission proposed a set of recommendations to successfully tackle childhood and adolescent obesity in different contexts around the world (16).

References
In November 2014, WHO organized, jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2). ICN2 adopted the Rome Declaration on Nutrition (17), and the Framework for Action(18) which recommends a set of policy options and strategies to promote diversified, safe and healthy diets at all stages of life. WHO is helping countries to implement the commitments made at ICN2.

In May 2018, the Health Assembly approved the 13th General Programme of Work (GPW13), which will guide the work of WHO in 2019-2023 (19). Reduction of salt/sodium intake and elimination of industrially-produced trans-fats from the food supply are identified in GPW13 as part of WHO's priority actions to achieve the aims of ensuring healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. To support Member States in taking necessary actions to eliminate industrially-produced trans-fats, WHO has developed a roadmap for countries (the REPLACE action package) to help accelerate actions (6).

It looks like a woodlouse but this bug is found on the beach! Look out for this beach-cleaning bug on your summer holidays this year!

Summer is finally here, and as you head down to the coast to enjoy ice creams and sandcastles how about looking out for beach bugs? The Sea slater ( Ligia oceanica) is an impressive beast, they are related to the woodlice you can find in your back garden but are much larger - they can grow up to 3cm long!

Sea slaters live on the shore above the high tide mark, they can be found running across rocks, on groynes and in the strandline. The best time to go out hunting for Sea slaters is in the evening when they are most active; during the day they hide under stones and seaweed and in cracks in the rock.

Like other members of the woodlouse family Sea slaters are recyclers - they help to keep the shore tidy by eating dead plant and animal material washed up on the shore.

Sea slaters and woodlice are members of a group of crustaceans called the Isopoda (iso meaning "same" and pod meaning "foot"). There are thought to be around 10,000 species of isopod around the world - around half live in the sea, the other half live on the land or in fresh water like ponds, lakes and rivers.

Sea slaters and other strandline bugs such as sandhoppers, seaweed flies and beach beetles are under threat on some beaches from mechanical beach cleaning. Whilst it is important to keep our beaches free of litter and other rubbish, mechanical beach cleaning destroys the strandline habitat in which these creatures live. Alternative methods such as hand picking remove the litter whilst preserving the standline habitat.

About

The sea slater is a type of crustacean, closely related to the woodlouse. Also known as the sea roach, they live on rocky shores all around the UK. They hide away in crevices and under rocks during the day and come out at night to feed.

Like the terrestrial woodlouse, they play an important role in the ecosystem. They are detritivores and munch on decaying material like seaweed; this helps break it down and increase the surface area for decomposition by bacteria and fungi. The best time to look for sea slaters is late in the evening or at night, when they leave their hidey-holes in search of food.

How to identify

Turn over rocks on the seashore and this is the woodlouse-like creature you may find. Up to 3cm long, it has a grey oval, segmented and flattened body with long antennae and lots of legs - just like its well-known terrestrial relative. It also has very large, black eyes.

Distribution

Found around all UK coasts.

Did you know?

Sea slaters have gills - but don't live underwater! That's why you find them in damp environments, like in crevices or under rocks.

How people can help

Take part in a beach clean to remove strandline litter by hand. This has a much lower impact than mechanical beach cleaning. If organising a beach clean, encourage participants to leave natural debris on the beach - including decaying/dry seaweed. It is an important part of the ecosystem! If possible, remove the litter from the seaweed (we know it's tough when it's all tangled up!) and leave the seaweed on the beach.

When rockpooling, be careful to leave everything as you found it - replace any rocks you turn over, put back any crabs or fish and ensure not to scrape anything off its rocky home.

More than usually, we condemn people who throw away plastic or other non-biodegradable stuff outside the proper place a.k.a trash can/bin. At times, we still feel indignant to people who litter organic, biodegradable litter but we tolerate it because at least those things will fade away naturally. Or, squirrels, birds, and trash pandas might find them and they'll be happy.

Littering is not okay either ways, but apparently, we can't or mustn't tolerate biodegradable littering either. You can usually find that banana and orange peel or apple cores somewhere on the ground and the people who throw them away must think like I mentioned before. Well if you find it now, it's better to help the environment by taking it and reduce your carbon footprint, put it in the right place, and wash your hands.

Bananas, oranges, apples, all kinds of food and fruit do biodegrade, but you have to remember that it doesn't happen instantly. I mean, you know that manual composting takes a little while.

If food and fruit biodegrade overnight, then something beyond our knowledge must be happening. And sure, wild animals are more than happy to take them, but this doesn't always happen.

So how long does it take?

The rule of thumb is that an apple core can take around two months to decompose and a banana peel biodegrades approximately up to two years. When you compare it to the time it takes for a single plastic to decompose, it's undeniably less problematic.

Decomposition for a plastic bag takes about 20 years, a straw takes 200 years, and a plastic bottle takes 450 years. But still, it becomes inexcusable to toss away organic things just because they decompose a little bit faster.

If you ever find someone who argues, "Well, what about the wildlife? They can eat whatever we toss and soil will 'consume' them in decomposition process. I believe it's all fine." Tell them an experiment done by Marjorie Woodruff who hikes and works in the Grand Canyon.

She put an apple core, a banana peel, orange peels, chewing gum, and tissue paper in a cage of chicken wire to allow animals going in and out. Six months passed and what did she find?

The orange peels had dried out, banana peel had turned black, chewing gum had remained unchanged, and the tissue paper had become nothing but a blob. Animals hadn't eaten them and the organic stuff hadn't rotted. She also buried the same items in sand and soil, and yet after six months nothing significant had happened.

Woodruff wrote in High Country News, "Think about it: Do we eat banana peels or orange peels? We do not. So why would a squirrel? An apple core is edible, certainly, but if it is not part of the animal's daily diet. The bottom line is, before we got here, the faunae did just fine on nuts, berries and occasionally each other. They do not need us."

Are we really helping animals by biodegradable littering?

I mentioned before about the thought of helping animals thrive by littering. The Grand Canyon experiment proved that this is not always the case. And when you think about it, when wild animals start to get food from humans, they might end up being too dependent on humans and they can't look for their own food in their natural habitat.

Leave No Trace Organization stated that animals need varied diet to get all the nutrients they need, therefore "giving" them the food we toss away don't help them thrive as we thought.

The organization stated, "When going to the campground or trail is an easy meal of fruit or human processed foods, they eat and get full on single food items instead of a range of food items that all provide different nutrients,"

"So when that squirrel or deer or bird, who looks so hungry, comes up to eat trail mix out of your hand, know that you're putting the animal at risk of a healthy life, a prolonged existence, and the opportunity for healthy offspring."

At the Naples Zoo, Zach Marchetti warned both kids and adults about why it's dangerous to throw away food near a road. "Banana peels, apple cores - no big deal it's just fruit, right? That's what we tell ourselves. The problem is it lands on the side of the road. And so you look at the reasons that animals get drawn out to the roads and a big one is trash."

Trash food attracts animals to areas crowded with people and they can get killed accidentally. "Food thrown alongside roads draws wildlife nearer to roadways and increases the likelihood they will end up as roadkill. Scraps tossed on the trail bring wildlife closer to the trail corridor as they seek out food," stated Leave No Trace.

Other reasons why you shouldn't litter

Other than not helping the environment and the probability to damage animal welfare, there's another reason why you shouldn't litter: law. It's different in each country/province/states, of course but in some, you can get fined because of littering banana peels or wrapping papers, organic or inorganic.

For example, Florida considers tossing trash out of a car is littering, no matter what kind, shape, or form it is. Fort Myers Police Lieutenant Jay Rodriguez said that, "The law states you can't throw anything out the window. Then he added, "A banana could sit there for two or three days and look ugly to someone and be considered litter."

If you break the law, the fine would be different according to government policy. In USA, some states charge $100 but some others fine people more than $6,000 for a first offense. In Florida, the fine for littering is $180.

Waste your money because you throw out some garbage nonchalantly is, in my opinion, something that we all can prevent. What we can do if we've got some apple cores, peels, and all kinds of biodegradable food is just simply put it in the proper bin.

If you can't find it, then you can hold it for a bit more or wrap it in a paper then dispose of it once you find the trash can. If you have a compost pile, then you know what to do next.

Read also: Don't Have Time to Compost? This Gadget will Do the Work for You

Another reason that you should consider is how littering destroys an aesthetic part of something. Imagine you're taking a stroll to your nearest park feeling fine and then you see banana peels or other food waste in front of you. Or, directly looking at someone in front of you tossing it.

You would get a little bit of negativity because you're thinking something like, "Seriously? Why is it so hard to place this stuff to trash can?!" or "Omg, people can be so disgusting." And we don't want to be someone who give that vibe to someone else, do we?
