The Netherlands is a flat country in north-western Europe, known for its canals, tulip fields, windmills and bicycle paths. The capital city of Amsterdam is home to the Rijksmüseum Art Museum, the Van Gogh Museum and the house where the Jewish girl Anne Frank wrote her diary during World War II. Since the Dutch Golden Age (XVII century) mansions along the canals have been preserved, as well as famous Rembrandt and Vermeer paintings.
A healthy diet provides protection against all forms of malnutrition as well as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.
Unhealthy diet and physical inactivity are major risks to global health.
Healthy eating practices take shape early in life - breastfeeding promotes healthy growth and improves cognitive development and can have beneficial effects on health in the long term, such as reducing the likelihood of overweight or obesity and the development of NCDs later in life.
Energy consumption (calories) needs to be balanced with energy consumption. To avoid unhealthy weight gain, total fat consumption should not exceed 30% of total energy consumption (1, 2, 3). Saturated fats should be less than 10% and trans fats should be less than 1% of total energy consumption, and saturated fats and trans fats should be replaced by unsaturated fats (3) and industrial production should be eliminated from the diet of trans fats (4, 5, 6).
Reducing free sugar consumption to less than 10% of total energy consumption (2, 7) is part of a healthy diet, and reducing it to less than 5% is expected to provide additional health benefits (7).
Salt intake of less than 5 g per day (equivalent to sodium intake of less than 2 g per day) helps prevent hypertension and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke among adults (8).
WHO Member States have set targets to reduce global salt intake by 30% by 2025 and to stop the increase in diabetes and obesity in adults and adolescents and child overweight by 2025. (9, 10).
General harmonized scientific recommendations today call for a balance between red meat and butter consumption and for replacing saturated animal and dairy fats with mono and polyunsaturated vegetable fats. Many recommendations concern the need to reduce sugar and salt consumption.
Traditional model of food consumption in Russia can not be called "healthy": a large amount of meat and processed meat products, the use of white flour only, low content of fruits and vegetables, a lot of baked sweets and high sugar and salt content in the products of daily consumption. This model of nutrition is largely responsible for the spread of modern diseases: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, atherosclerosis, obesity, cancer, etc..
A healthy diet significantly reduces the risk of all these diseases. A properly selected diet has a beneficial effect on metabolic processes, which helps maintain normal cholesterol levels, controls blood pressure, prevents the accumulation of excess weight.
Today, even the fact that eating properly, you can effectively treat many diseases and even correct the genetic predisposition to certain diseases is no longer in doubt.
