The German Nutrition Association (DGE) has renewed its healthy nutrition guide, which was prepared as a result of scientific research considering the impact of eating habits on health. In the guide, sustainability and health elements are prioritized; It is emphasized that the diet should consist mainly of plant foods and especially legumes.
PLANT-BASED NUTRITION IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE FOR BOTH HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
Stating that the importance of plant-based nutrition is increasing day by day, BİTKİDEN Chairman of the Board of Directors Ebru Akdağ said, “Plant-based nutrition is of great importance for both health and the environment. Cardiovascular health, in particular, plays an important role in lowering the risk of Alzheimer's and delaying aging. Acting with this awareness, Germany is on its way to becoming the European leader in sustainable healthy diets. While meat production in Germany decreased by 2022 percent in 2021 compared to 8.1. Consumption in 2021 decreased by 10 percent in five years. In addition, 2024 million Euros of support was committed to promote the transition to plant-based foods and alternative protein sources in 38. "For this reason, I find the recommendations in the nutrition guide prepared by the German Nutrition Association very valuable," he said.
