Health priorities

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.

Roquette: the health ingredients specialist

• There is increasing global recognition that rising levels of chronic disease are linked to unbalanced eating habits and lack of physical activity. The result has been a growing international focus on "Healthy Eating". To respond to World Health Organisation recommendations, food industries are being urged to review their traditional recipes. The aim is to reduce their simple carbohydrate content while increasing the amount of fiber they contain.
