marine fish food

Mediterranean food is rich in fish, olive oil, a type of beans, vegetables for healthy heart, but not well made bag, or maybe it's how it is, according to new research from Spain.

Therefore, the measurement of "upstream" - like a tax on unhealthy foods and / or subsidies on healthy foods - perhaps needs to be done to "increase the possibility of choosing a healthy diet that leads to disease prevention and better health among the people", said dr. Maira Bes-rastollo.

Researchers from the Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, School of Medicine, University of Navarra, and colleagues were studying the cost of the Western diet and the Mediterranean Sea at more than 11,000 Spanish university graduates with the same level of results.

They all participated in the long-term studies conducted in 1999 to assess the relationship between diet and obesity and long-term health problems.

Their analysis revealed that the stronger the younger generation's hold on the Mediterranean diet, a healthy, the more money they spend each day to buy food.

Conversely, the more powerful they follow food "Western" - which has a high content of saturated acids, sugar and red meat - the less money they spend every day to buy food.

Studies in Spain, said Bes-Rastollo, shows that the "Mediterranean diet, a healthy, more expensive to follow than the Western diet and I am sure that similar studies conducted in the United States will find the same results or even differences higher in cost between the two patterns of these foods ".

"Economic barrier" that must be considered when counseling was given to the community about choosing healthy foods "because the cost may be prohibitive factor," he said.

The researchers also reported that 31 percent of the objects of study gained weight during the study they lasted - just over half a kilogram, or 1.1 pounds, per year. And, after adjusting for several factors that appear to affect the outcome, people who spend most money on food 20 percent more likely to increase their weight, no matter what diet they choose.

Those who have bills that are more expensive foods are more inclined older, more likely to have quit smoking, tend to drink more fruit juice that contains calories, cold drinks, and alcohol and generally increased their body.

All this shows that they are more inclined to put on weight due to lifestyle or genetic factors, the researchers said.
