The Nutrition Facts Label and MyPlate Can Help You Make Healthier Food Choices in 2021

SILVER SPRING, Md., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Thinking about making healthier food choices as part of your New Year’s resolutions, but not sure where to start? The newly released Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025 encourages Americans to make shifts in their food and beverage choices based on personal, cultural and traditional preferences in order to achieve a healthy dietary pattern. The updated Nutrition Facts label and MyPlate can serve as tools to help you set goals for a healthy dietary pattern and maintain them all year long!

Using the Nutrition Facts label to make healthier food choices.
The updated Nutrition Facts label can help you make informed choices that contribute to lifelong healthy eating habits and meet the recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The label provides important nutrition information about packaged food and drinks—from serving size to calories and nutrient information. So, what’s new on the label?

The serving size now appears in larger, bold font and some serving sizes have been updated. Serving sizes have also been updated to better reflect the amount people typically eat and drink.
Calories are now displayed in larger, bolder font.
Daily Values have been updated.
Added sugars, vitamin D, and potassium are now listed on the label. Manufacturers must declare the amount in addition to percent Daily Value for vitamins and minerals.

Here are a few ways you can make the most of the label in the new year.

Use the Nutrition Facts label to monitor calories and use serving information to help you choose the right portion sizes for you.
When shopping for groceries, use the label to compare different food items. More often, choose items higher in dietary fiber, vitamin D, calcium, iron, and potassium, and lower in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars.

Planning your meals while keeping MyPlate in mind.
MyPlate shows the five food groups that are the building blocks of a healthy diet using a familiar image: a place setting for a meal. Here are a few ways you can use MyPlate to stick with your resolutions in 2021.

Try to include all five food groups (vegetables, fruits, grains, protein foods, and dairy) in your meals. To make sure you’re getting the nutrients you need, choose a variety of foods and beverages from each food group.
Make small changes to your meals so that they are as complete as possible. For example, if you are cooking pasta, add veggies to the sauce. Or if you’re craving something sweet, cut up fruit for dessert!

Learn more about how you can use the Nutrition Facts label and MyPlate together to make healthier choices: https://www.fda.gov/food/new-nutrition-facts-label/using-nutrition-facts-label-and-myplate-make-healthier-choices.

Nationwide Survey Finds Utilities Lack the Analytics Needed to Improve Grid Resiliency In a Time of Extreme Weather

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Jan.14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — NV5 Geospatial, powered by Quantum Spatial, North America’s largest geospatial data firm, today announced results of a recent survey showing that most utility companies are not taking advantage of advanced data and analytics to improve resilience and mitigate risk. The «Geospatial Analytics, Resilience and Extreme Weather Readiness» survey of more than 100 utilities from across the United States revealed that even though almost all utilities have wildfire and storm mitigation strategies in place, only about one-third are using locational data and 3D modeling to assist with evaluating asset health, preventing outages and managing vegetation.

«In 2020 alone, 30 named Atlantic storms caused almost $40 billion in damages, while California experienced a record drought that resulted in rolling blackouts and spawned five of the six largest wildfires in history. These unpredictable challenges are difficult for utilities to manage, as are more predictable problems, such as vegetation growth around critical infrastructure. ,» said Eric Merten, vice president and general manager, Commercial Markets at NV5 Geospatial. «Advanced data and analytics offer a proven way to improve risk mitigation and build on utilities’ GIS investments. By taking a ‘collect once, use multiple times’ approach, utilities can cost-effectively use lidar and 3D modeling to proactively monitor and manage the grid, promoting resilience in the face of extreme weather events and more common root causes of outages.»

Survey findings include:

Utilities said they have put comprehensive strategies in place to reduce risk from storms (89%) and fire (68%) (see figure 1). But even though 66% said they use data to analyze risk from fires and storms, only 39% rely on locational data and 3D modeling as part of the process.
The largest sources of outages, aside from the event itself, are vegetation management (56%) and aging infrastructure (53%).
Factors that drive utility wildfire and storm risk mitigation include worker safety (80%) customer safety (76%) and managing customer expectations (60%).
Of the technologies available for managing risk, fewer than half currently use transmission siting (40%), geological hazard mapping (31%) or 3D modeling of substations (23%). Another 24% of utilities surveyed indicated they use no technologies at all.
Less than half of survey respondents currently use lidar, with investor-owned utilities (IOUs) adopting the technology at the highest rate (53%) compared to only 16% of cooperatives.
More than 50% said the primary benefits of using 3D modeling for asset health, outage prevention and vegetation management included improved safety for workers and customers, asset management and outage restoration outcomes, as well as less risk of fire and costly outages

The survey was conducted Fall 2020 by Zpryme with representatives from more than 100 utility companies.
