Eating Real Food
Nutrition is thefoundation of health, influencing disease prevention and overall well-being Dietary habits can shape long-term health outcomes. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030, reflects the latest in nutrition science and public health needs, marking what public health officials describe as the most “significant reset” of federal nutrition policy in decades
At its core, the new dietary guidance emphasizes a simple directive: “Eat real food.”
Welln CORNER
The 2025-2030 guidelines define real food as whole, nutrient-dense and naturally occurring, placing it back at the center of Americans’ diets. Here are some major changes to the guidelines from the previous recommendations.
•Protein The new guidelines prioritize protein at every meal, with a goal to get 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram of a person’s body weight daily, nearly double the previous advice Americans are encouraged to obtain their protein from both animal sources (e g , eggs, poultry, seafood and red meat) and plant-based sources (e g , beans, peas, lentils, legumes, nuts, seeds and soy)
•The New Pyramid The latest update features an inverted pyramid that places meats, cheese and vegetables in the widest part at the top, reversing a long-standing visual representation of the American diet and shifting away from the circular MyPlate image. This flexible framework is designed to guide better choices, rather than dictating specific meals.
•Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) For the first time, the guidelines specifically call out UPFs. Americans are advised to avoid packaged and ready-to-eat foods that are salty or sweet (e.g., chips, cookies and candy) and limit foods and beverages with artificial flavors, dyes, preservatives and sweeteners.
To learn more about the new dietary guidelines, visit RealFood.gov. Individuals should consult with their health care provider for personalized guidance.
•Dairy The updated version prioritizes full-fat dairy with no added sugars, marking a major shift from the long-standing recommendation for fat-free or low-fat milk and yogurt.
•Added sugars The guidelines note that no amount of added sugar is healthy As such, adults should limit their intake to no more than 10 grams per meal, and no amount of added sugar is suitable for children aged 5 to 10
•Alcohol The general recommendation now is to simply limit alcohol consumption without providing exact figures

PASSWORD PASSWORD HYGIENE HYGIENE PASSWORD HYGIENE
If you’re still using the default password that was assigned to you, consider this your friendly nudge to switch it up. Default passwords are like the sample name on a coffee order — fine in a pinch, but not really yours, and way too easy for someone else to grab by mistake.
We’re asking everyone to:
Create a unique password
Avoid reusing passwords from other sites
Skip the obvious choices (yes, that includes Password123)
WHy it matters:
It protects your account
It helps keep company systems secure
It reduces the odds of IT needing to investigate “how did this happen?” at 8 a.m
A strong password is:
Long Unique Known only
to you
If you need help changing your password or want recommendations for password managers, the IT team is here and happy to help.
Thanks for doing your part to keep things secure — we genuinely appreciate it.
will be recognized in the Idaho Business Review’s Reader Rankings as a Top Three company in THREE categories and that recognition comes directly from the readers of IBR and YOU!! What an honor!
