Dietary guidance refers to recommendations and advice given on what foods or nutrients a person should consume for maintaining good health, preventing diseases, and achieving optimal physical and mental well-being. It may include general guidelines such as eating a balanced diet with a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats or specific recommendations based on age, gender, lifestyle, and other factors that affect nutritional needs. Dietary guidance is typically provided by government agencies, health organizations, and medical professionals to help individuals make informed choices about their diet for better overall health outcomes.
