fattening bread and wine, drunk in moderation, harms health. A group of scientists has presented at the International Congress of the Mediterranean diet is a change in the traditional food pyramid. Is to be halted at all costs by eating junk food for snacks field follow the Mediterranean diet. The only one, as all the experts, can prolong the lives of human beings with good health.
Scientists meeting at the last summit, held in Barcelona on 24 and 25 March, focused on analyzing how foods affect the Mediterranean diet the body. Francisco Sensat, vice president of the Mediterranean Diet Foundation, that addressed the need to enhance the variety of food, you have to eat more vegetables, fruits and vegetables both in different flavor and different texture.
administrations, both central and regional authorities, are well aware that the National Health System (NHS) can not sustain the health problems of adult children have today. Junk food is bread today, hunger tomorrow. Aware of this problem in the medium and long term, scientists warned that "based on a good education, children learn habits." In this line, the cardiologist Valentin Fuster filed last week the book Monsters Supersano (Metro), a children's book in which Cookie Monster, Elmo, Coco, Bert, Ernie and all their friends from Sesame Street teach healthy habits pequeñoslos . A book to be read aloud in class, or quietly in bed. "It's a monstrous book useful, because good food habits, physical activity and health must be purchased sooner rather than later."
also has been shown that when parents involve children in the participation and preparation of the dishes "kids eat everything," says Sensat. So this would be a good habit to score. The experts also call on caterers to offer a daily menu based on Mediterranean diet at the same price as that bid on the day. "In food is better than cure, experts stress.
As an example of the benefits of the food basket of the Mediterranean diet, the congress noted that olive oil may slow the progression of breast cancer. "Poor diet, processed foods loaded with predominantly certain fats, may affect the progression of this cancer," criticized. Other studies show how this product could be effective against stomach ulcers (specifically to combat the bacteria that produces) and prevent cardiovascular diseases (for its high antioxidant content).
Food
season and environment experts advise
All fewer food and more variety. When choosing, the better the season, "and, if possible, the environment." They also spoke of trying to make the consumption of vegetables, fruits and vegetables both, are of different flavor and different texture. And, if possible, have different colors.
More tips for promoting a healthy diet, regular physical activity practice and socialize meals in their orientation to consumption of three food groups: grains, vegetables and fruits. Is introduced for the first time in the Mediterranean diet spices, herbs and spices as well as drinking six glasses of water a day. Another wake-up call for experts is to try to slightly reduce the amount per serving to get a lower caloric expenditure.
The rest of the elements follows a similar pattern: pick fruit and vegetables from one to two servings per meal, and carbohydrates. Also one or two meals to choose between bread, pasta, rice ... preferably integral. Every day is recommended to take one to two servings of nuts, seeds, olives, two to three servings of dairy products and three to four servings of olive oil. The desired amount of herbs, spices, garlic and onion, provided they have no added salt.
Children who are overweight, obese future
Dieticians, doctors, scientists and experts have long been calling attention to citizens: less hamburger and more vegetables. According to the National Health Survey, 37.8% of adults are overweight and 15% obese. Children are becoming increasingly overweight. Gregorio Varela, president of the English Federation of Nutrition (FEN), and criticized the English order of preference when making the purchase: "Let it go, in this order, the size-price relationship, the duration of the food, the easy preparation and, in fifth place, healthy food. " Although all surveys that collect health care, collect statistics that "we prefer a two for one to a healthy product."
However, the English themselves complained a few months ago to fill the cart with healthy food is more expensive. Maira Bes-Rastrollo, a researcher at the University of Navarra, consider implementing a tax increase to subsidize junk food and products of the Mediterranean diet.
is a priority for all promotion and preservation of the Mediterranean diet as a way healthy life, in its broadest sense. Obesity brings with it a paradox: it has created a business around it that moves millions of euros and come directly from the pockets of those affected. Eminent scientists from around the world have succumbed to the interest in this healthy lifestyle. So no one can say that in the house of a blacksmith, a wooden knife.
