A healthy diet should include plenty of fiber and vegetables, enough vitamins, and little sugar. But what sounds simple becomes a challenge for many people in their daily lives. Diets and dietary supplements promise quick results, but these are often not sustainable. A survey by Statista.com found that by 2023, around 25 million people in the German-speaking population aged 14 and over were particularly interested in a healthy diet and lifestyle. This includes regular health checks.
Healthy eating also goes hand in hand with sustainable agriculture. According to the German Society for Nutrition, an ecologically sustainable diet means eating mainly plant-based foods. At its best, they are also organic, regional, seasonal, and fairly produced with a low degree of processing. A good three-quarters (77%) of Germans attach great importance to the sustainability of their food. This is the result of the new nutrition study which was conducted by the Techniker Krankenkasse (TK) based on a representative Forsa survey in November 2023.
So, it is time to look for the professionals in the jungle of the many tips that are doing the rounds, especially at the start of the New Year, to make a sustainable and long-term healthy change in your diet.
