Abstract

The 4th edition of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR 2004) now includes detailed recommendations on daily physical activity. For adults a minimum of 30 minutes of daily physical activity of moderate intensity and/or vigorous intensity is recommended. More physical activity (about 60 minutes daily) may be needed for prevention of weight gain. For children a minimum of 60 minutes of physical activity every day is recommended. As in the 3rd edition, a limitation of the intake of saturated plus trans fatty acids to about 10 % of the total energy intake (E%) and of the total fat intake to 30 E% is recommended. The intake of carbohydrates and dietary fibre should increase, while the intake of refined sugars should not exceed 10 E%. The 4th edition includes changes in the recommended intakes for e.g. vitamin A, D and C and for folate.
