The Mediterranean diet would be mainly of Italian heritage, before the Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2010. Yet if you asked someone there, you would be able to tell which foods make it up? What principles is promoting? Who knows. Eight out of ten Italians insisting to know the Mediterranean diet, but then you're over 10, they ignore the basic principles and only one in five knows how to define it correctly.
More than a joke these are the most recent findings in a study of 314 people by researchers at the Department of Internal Medicine, aging and disease nephrology at the University of Bologna and presented to the National Congress of the Italian Society for the Prevention of Cardiovascular (SIPREC ) held in Genoa until tomorrow.
If the news that the Mediterranean diet reduces the metabolic syndrome was taken as a godsend by the experts, in fact, ordinary people continued to believe in eating behavior wrong to give so much for the infamous diet. 60% of respondents to the research does not know what the food pyramid and has never even heard about.
Even if we think that without this knowledge we would be living the good, the result of this ignorance is then explained in 'food every day, where 80% of Italians always have lunch with a very seasoned pasta and bread, 20% eat meat fat several times a week, almost one in two consumers the cheese three or more times a week and only one in three Italian eats fish once every seven days.
But that's not all: for many Italians is the cholesterol in the bread, vegetables and proteins fat in the dough, and this confusion leads to predictable imbalances that are seen in the fact that 60% of Italians between the wrong combinations food. More unbalanced than that! The Mediterranean diet is known for its own balance between nutrition and taste, leaving out almost anything.
Placed in the hands username Italians, however, has become a sort of multiplication table with all the numbers in the wrong places. "When asked to define precisely what is meant by the Mediterranean diet, 55% gave incorrect answers, indicating, for example, that there are fats in the dough, and 25% did not know how to answer their own," says Massimo Volpe, President SIPREC.
The study avidenziato that the sins of the throat of the Italians are concerned specifically with bands of less healthy foods rich in saturated fats. "The consumption of saturated fats is increasing in our country - said Matthew Cevenini, who led the study -. Over the past forty years has increased by 50% because we are slowly removing it from the Mediterranean to marry habits typical of Anglo-Saxon countries.
E 'need to improve the knowledge of Italian food and raise awareness of what they bring to the table every day. " Health goes to the table when we know what to put on for our well being.
