ITALIANS
EAT
TOO
MUCH
AND
TOO
BADLY
Italians
may
be
competing with Arnericans for the tide
of
the world's greatest
eaters. According to studies carried out
by
the Minister
of
Health, eating habits in Italy in
recent years have changed for the worse. Italians are eating more, eating badly and getting
fatter.
Ten per cent
of
the population is obese, and forty per cent overweight
by
severa!
kilos.
The
two groups which eat the most and present the most serious signs
of
nutritional
imbalance are children and old people.
Young people seeni to eat the most. Out
of
every hundred young people, sixteen
~
• fat. Pediatricians are seemingly unable to convince mothers that a fat child mcans an adult
with serious circulation problems.
ülder
people too have difficulty in stopping when faced
with food. Fourteen per cent
of
those over
fi
ft
y in Italy are considered ohese. Italians,
therefore, eat too much and badly. The result
of
this trend can
be
seen in the illness
of
good
living such as diabetes, heart attacks, high blood pressure and high cholesterollevels.
Studies done have suggested a massive publicity campaign in order to educate
people in good eating habits.
If
Italians were to eat better, the State would save around 3.5
million dollars, the amount spent each year on diseases linked to poor and unwise nutrition.
In
order to save this money and avoid the onset
of
such diseases, Italians ought to
be fol1owing Mediterranean diet style
of
eating, which according to nutrition experts ought
to help prevent many
of
these diseases. They recommend a moderate intake
of
cereals,
fresh vegetables, white meat and olive oil.
To
this must
he
added must sorne kind
of
physical activity in keeping with one's
job
and age.
It's
a long time since "fat is beautiful" was accepted as true.
