Dark Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 The Spanish Society of Community Nutrition (SENC) has added a new base to the pyramid of classic healthy eating that includes recommendations to maintain a healthy lifestyle "because eating is not just a dish", has indicated the president of the scientific committee of the SENC, the professor Javier Aranceta. The new base of the food pyramid, recommends society without exception walk 10,000 daily steps, since "health is 50 percent what we move," said Aranceta. In addition, it advises paying attention to the emotional balance, "fundamental for the food process", has valued the expert. "If we are low in spirit, we do not buy the same, we do not cook the same and we do not eat the same," he added, noting that "the body asks us for food that elevates serotonin, but that generates depression and enters into a wheel". The new base of the food pyramid also calls for concern about the energy balance, which means that if a person ingests more food he has to exercise more, and cook with healthy culinary techniques, such as steaming. Finally, it includes eating between four and six glasses of water daily as a means of hydration. On the other hand, the pyramid has another novelty: a sustainability bar that refers to the environment. "We first proposed not only individual health, but also the health of the planet, the impact that the food process has on the environment," said Professor Aranceta, who has qualified as "barbaric". In this context, foods that are at the tip of the pyramid, such as ultra-processed foods, red meats, sausages and complex dairy products, have a high environmental impact, while those below are more environmentally-friendly. limited. In addition, all local products, local products, seasonal products and traditional agriculture also have less impact.
