The well-known scientific journal The Lancet has created special assignments entrusted to commissions of experts to address some issues related to health and nutrition. The first commission, Eat-Lancet, analyzed the impact of food on human health and the environment.
It has therefore published a report that analyzes the cost impact that modern nutrition has on both the environment and people’s health.
The proposal, called Planetary Health Diet (diet of planetary or global health) provides for a more natural and healthy diet both as an ecological choice and as a choice for disease prevention.

THE PLANETARY HEALTH DIET

The Planetary Health Diet contains a series of recommendations for making a diet that is more eco-sustainable, but also healthy to reduce health care costs.

In fact, it is estimated that as many as 820 million people do not have enough food, and that another large slice of the world population does have food, but makes poor choices from a nutritional point of view. With an increase in diseases such as obesity.

According to the report, the best diet according to the commission, and in line with the Planetary Health Diet is the Cretan one .
