Proposal for a comprehensive nutrition guideline ‒ The House of Healthy Habits-SEÑ

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: Introduction and objective: the prevalence of diet-related health alterations is constantly increasing, while the majority of dietary guidelines are focused on food and dietary patterns, without considering sociocultural and sustainability aspects. The objective of the current article was to define a novel integrative dietary guideline, including concepts that have not been considered previously. Methodology: the Delphi method was used with a panel of 11 expert dietitian-nutritionists selected by the Spanish Society of Nutrition (SEÑ), evaluated based on their academic background, scientific experience, and outreach activities. The work was structured into successive phases of development, collaborative review, and content consensus between 2021 and 2023. Results: the "House of Healthy Habits-SEÑ" is presented as an informative tool regarding diet-related healthy lifestyles that complements the dietary guidelines already existing in Spain. This tool provides the necessary information, in a simple and grouped manner, to help the adult general population gain knowledge regarding healthy dietary habits from a holistic point of view. Conclusions: the "House of Healthy Habits-SEÑ" is a guide that encompasses aspects related to diet and lifestyle, and is a very suitable tool to be used by different population groups for the prevention and/or treatment of diet-related metabolic disturbances.
