Scientists reveal "ideal health system"

Scientists have discovered an ideal "diet" for the health of the planet and its people, which consists of doubling the consumption of nuts, fruits, vegetables and legumes and halving the consumption of meat and sugar .

Scientists have said that if the world followed a "global planetary health", it could save more than 11 million people from untimely death each year, Reuters reported on Thursday.

In addition, the new regime will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and further protect land, water and biodiversity.

The proposed planetary diet is the result of a three-year project commissioned by the Lancet health journal and attended by 37 specialists from 16 countries.

According to the system, the average global consumption of foods such as red meat and sugar should be reduced by 50%, while the consumption of nuts, fruits, vegetables and legumes should be doubled.

"The food we eat and the way we produce it determines the health of people and the planet, and we take it seriously," said Tim Lang, a professor at the University of London, who co-sponsored the research.

Lange said that feeding a growing population of about 10 billion people by 2051 would be impossible without changing dietary habits, improving food production and reducing waste.

"We need a major reform and an unprecedented global diet change," Lang said.

Many life-threatening chronic conditions are linked to poor nutrition, including obesity, diabetes, malnutrition and many types of cancer.

"More than 800 million people do not eat enough, while many of them consume unhealthy diets that contribute to premature death and disease," said Walter Willett of Harvard University in the United States. United.

"If we can not do that, we'd better get as close to him as possible," he said.

Scientists have confirmed that unhealthy diets now cause more deaths and morbidity in the world than many factors combined: unprotected bad, alcohol, drugs and tobacco.
