A balanced diet promotes an optimal supply of energy and nutrients and thus makes a significant contribution to health. This is the aim of the Swiss dietary recommendations, which were updated last year and visualized with the food pyramid. Now the second graphic element of the nutritional recommendations has also been revised: the plate model.<\/p>\n

A healthy menu for every lifestyle thanks to a simple formula<\/h3>\n

The \u00abbalanced plate\u00bb illustrates how to put together a healthy main meal - whether breakfast, lunch or dinner. It contains at least one vegetable or fruit, a source of starch such as potatoes or cereal products and a protein-rich food such as dairy products, tofu, eggs, meat or fish. The rule of thumb for the optimum ratio is a simple formula: 2\/5 vegetables and fruit, 2\/5 carbohydrates, 1\/5 proteins. The more colorful and seasonal the plate, the healthier and more sustainable the main meal. Recipe examples for different diets provide additional inspiration and show what a healthy menu can look like. This raises awareness of a balanced diet that suits every lifestyle.<\/p>\n

The \u00abbalanced plate\u00bb is published in joint cooperation between the Swiss Society for Nutrition SGE, Health Promotion Switzerland and the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO). With the Swiss dietary recommendations, the FSVO is fulfilling its mandate to actively promote health. In order to make them more widely known to the general public, the federal government will be implementing digital information measures over the next three weeks.<\/p>\n
