Cibo, salute e stili di vita per l’apprendimento del benessere come prevenzione primaria

Abstract

Mediterranean Diet is based on its traditional food composition and on products that for centuries have been inextricably linked to his specific agricultural and marine landscapes. Today it is the abandonment of the indigenous tradition and the choice of a "Western", high-calorie and hyperlipidic diet, with a consequent increase in obesity and degenerative pathologies. It is necessary to develop regional training programmes to implement primary prevention strategies for high prevalence non-communicable chronic diseases through behavioural and nutritional education.
