Nutrition and Your Health
MyPyramid

MyPyramid is based on the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. MyPyramid was developed to carry the messages of the dietary guidelines and to make Americans aware of the important health benefits of small and simple improvements in nutrition, physical activity and lifestyle behavior. It is a personalized approach designed to remind us to make healthy food choices and be active every day.
