WHO says…

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has updated its guidelines on fats and carbohydrates to reduce the risk of unhealthy weight gain and diet-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. They recommend limiting fat intake to 30% or less of total energy intake, reducing saturated and trans-fats found in fatty meat, dairy foods, baked and fried foods, and pre-packaged snacks. Instead, they suggest consuming more plant-based wholefoods like wholegrains, fruits, vegetables, and pulses to get most of the carbohydrates.

For everyone over two years old, WHO advises adults to eat at least 400 grams of fruits and vegetables and 25 grams of fiber daily. This advice aligns with recommendations from Viva!, an organization advocating for plant-based diets. By following these guidelines, individuals can improve their health and reduce the risk of various chronic diseases.
