ConAgra Foods announced today the results of two new studies showing modest reductions in calorie and sodium intake can significantly benefit health, leading to improved productivity and a reduction in U.S. medical expenditures. The analysis of government data is the first of its kind to document the impact of positive diet improvements on a nationwide basis.
The research, published in the July issue of the American Journal of Health Promotion, is critical to understanding how to improve health through dietary choices, says lead author Timothy Dall of The Lewin Group. “One of the most revealing findings was just how big an impact 100 calories less per day can have compared to the more modest benefit of sodium reductions,” Dall said.
ConAgra Foods commissioned the studies as part of the company’s overarching commitment to health and wellness, which it supports through programs likeStart Making Choices, a consumer health and wellness program that encourages healthy habits for a balanced life. The studies were conducted by The Lewin Group and Nutrition Impact, LLC.
