Prof. Kenneth LO Ka-hei, Member of the Research Institute for Future Food (RiFood) and the Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA) and Assistant Professor of the Department of Food Science and Nutrition, was interviewed by Now TV programme “Medicine Online”. During the interview, he shared his professional views on the “inverted pyramid” dietary guidelines recently published by the US Government.
Prof. Lo explained that the inverted food pyramid emphasises the concept of “Eat Real Food”, aiming to prevent chronic diseases and improve long-term health. For grains consumption, he suggested mixing red rice or brown rice with white rice to increase fibre intake.
Moreover, amid the wide array of dietary approaches available these days, he advised the public to choose high-quality protein, consume less refined starch, fried food and processed food, and control salt and sauces intake to help reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases over time.
