Scientists have prepared a diet with the promise of protecting the planet, with which more than 100 million people will be fed in the decades ahead. Researchers have said that it is necessary to make big changes in the foods that are kept in the plate. For this, a plan named 'The Planetary Health Diet' means a healthier diet called the Earth.
This diet has been made without excluding meat and dairy products. However, nut, various varieties of seeds and seeds have been added to meet a large part of the protein demand. The advice of scientists is to reduce the amount of meat from diet to find alternative sources of protein. They also emphasize the growing interest in the nutritious foods we want to avoid.
What changes should be made in eating habits: If you have been eating meat every day, it is important to make a big change in diet. That does not mean that you do not eat meat. Eat meat, but at a moderate rate. Like red meat burgers a day in the week. Large size steak is not more than once a month. Other times of the week, fish or chicken meat can meet the protein demand.
And in the rest of the day, protein needs will be met to eat different plant foods. In this case, researchers suggested to eat nuts, seeds or pulses every day. They also told to increase the consumption of various fruits and vegetables. As if it contains at least half of the food plate plate. Salted foods such as potatoes or cassava can be dieted.
Full list of Diet: Find out the amount of foods you can eat every day. 50 grams of almond on the day Seed beans, peas, 75 g of different types of pulses Fish day 28 grams Eggs are not one or more than two weeks. Red meat is 14 grams in the day. Chicken meat is 29 grams. 232 grams of bread and rice on the day Other greens like potato, 50 grams of vegetables. 250 grams of dairy products Vegetables 300 gm and fruit 200 gm in the day. Apart from this, you can add 31 grams of sugar and 50 grams of oil, such as olive oil.
The taste of these will be very bad: Harvard University researcher Professor Walter Willelet said, "Do not think that these foods mean the taste is not good. He used to eat red meat once in three times. But now he has brought himself under this healthy diet. Willett said 'There are plenty of food diversities. You can accept these foods by mixing it with one another in thousands of ways. We did not prepare this diet to depreciate anyone. Rather tried to create something that is easy and enjoyable '.
Why food is needed: As part of the brick-lancet commission, a group of around 37 scientists from the world are united. Starting from agriculture there was climate change as well as nutrition experts. After two years of research, they made this diet list, which was later published in the lancet. Now their goals send out these research results to organizations like governments of different countries and WHOs. As such, this dietary change can be made everywhere. In 2011, the world population was 700 million Currently this number is 770 million. In 2050, the number could reach one thousand crores. They did this research to ensure the supply of food to the excess population.
Changes in diet will save lives: Researchers say that due to change in diet, it is possible to prevent death of around 10 million people every year because of change in diet. Due to unhealthy diet due to heart attack, stroke and the development of certain types of cancer, people of the country are the leading cause of death. However, it is possible to reduce that rate by proper eating habits.
Diet will help protect the world: Researchers aim to ensure food supply to all the world's population in the next decade without harming the environment. Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced. The species of biological species that can be extinct can be preserved. Agricultural land will not be increased and water can be saved. It is not enough to just change dietary habits. In this case, reduce the rate of waste caused by food, as well as increase the production of food in the existing land.
How realistic is the change in diet: If you plan to implement this plan, then change the dietary habits of every corner of the world. Especially in Europe and North America, red meat consumption rates will be greatly reduced. East Asia needs to reduce dependence on fish and reducing the amount of strawberry vegetables in Africa.
Line Gordon, director of the Stockholm Resilience Center at Stockholm University, said, "Never before in this rate and at this pace there was no attempt to change dietary habits". Researchers believe the tax on red meat can be a way to change the diet.
