Abstract

Public health guidelines and recommendations are developed to provide information for health professionals and the public about specific behaviours or practices to maximise individual and/or population health. They are based on the best available evidence of the known benefits or dangers. Obvious examples include eating two serves of fruit and five serves of vegetables per day, exclusive breastfeeding until six months, limiting alcohol consumption, and 30 minutes of physical activity a day on most days.
