The WHO warns that of the 10 most harmful risks to health, 6 are directly related to food, nutrients and diet. Healthcare services have been estimated to contribute only a third of the improvements we could make in life expectancy, changing people’s lifestyles and removing health inequalities contribute the remaining two thirds.
Given this data, the promotion of healthy eating habits and the adoption of better diet styles have become prime objectives. It is necessary to sensitize and familiarize consumers with these concepts, so it is important that these actions are accompanied by other initiatives involving all stakeholders involved in diet and food-related actions.
