Health priorities
Obesity and overweight have reached epidemic proportions worldwide. Energy-dense diets and a sedentary lifestyle are recognized as major contributors.
WHO recommendations
- Adopt a well-balanced diet based on obtaining energy from different sources, i.e.
- 55-65 % from carbohydrates
with 10% max. of simple sugars such as sucrose
with an increase of complex carbohydrates such as fibers
- 15-30 % from fat
- 10-15% from proteins.
- Avoid excessive glycemic fluctuations (hyper- and hypoglycemia).
- Favor the consumption of healthier complex carbohydrates (such as fibers); the aim is to regulate the blood glucose diffusion after a meal and to manage the daily calorie intake.
