The concept of Balanced Nutrition as part of its dietary guidelines was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA introduced the dietary guidelines to promote healthier eating habits and improve nutrition among Americans. The guidelines emphasize the importance of consuming a variety of foods from all food groups, focusing on portion control and integrating whole foods. By encouraging a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins, the USDA aims to prevent diet-related diseases and promote overall health and well-being in the population.
