Food-based dietary guidelines for Belize

A National Food Based Dietary Guideline (FBDG) is an important educational toolthat converts scientific information on nutritional requirements and food composition into simple, populationbased language. The guidelines provide technical advice about ways to improve diets and health in a manner that is easy for the public to understand. It should be noted that the guidelines are developed for the general healthy population from two years of age upwards and can be used by health care providers, policy makers, community leaders, educators and the public at large.
