Basic practical advice about healthy food choices is reviewed via the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the Food Guide Pyramid, and Daily Values on Food Labels. Special considerations for their use with the healthy elderly are included. Nutrient requirements of the elderly are presented for the oldest RDA age category, "51+ years and older" as is newer research on altered nutrient needs that accompany aging. The Nutrition Counseling Checklist helps determine when referral for in-depth diet therapy is needed.
通过《美国人膳食指南》《食物指南金字塔》和食品标签上的每日摄入量，对健康食物选择的基本实用建议进行了综述。其中还包括了针对健康老年人使用这些建议时的特殊考虑因素。针对最老的推荐膳食摄入量（RDA）年龄类别“51岁及以上”，列出了老年人的营养需求，以及关于衰老过程中营养需求变化的最新研究。营养咨询清单有助于确定何时需要转介进行深入的饮食治疗。
