You may have heard about keto diet. The keto diet is a diet free but without carbohydrates and focus on fat consumption, or Mediterranean diet, which focuses on consumption of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and olive oil.
This time, again the booming nordic diet that originated from the Scandinavian country. The Nordic diet consists of traditional foods from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
Similar to the Mediterranean, the Nordic is also said to help decrease the risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Other research suggests that the Nordic diet may be beneficial for weight loss.
The Nordic diet does apply local food consumption based on fish, grains, vegetables, and fruit. But unlike the Mediterranean diet, this nordic diet is more long-lasting, environmentally friendly because it encourages us to eat cooked food ourselves.
The Nordic dietary pattern is more lean protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. If the meditarania diet uses olive oil, the nordic diet uses canola oil and rapeseed oil, which is monounsaturated fat. In addition, the Nordic diet is also recommended because it complies with the recommendations of WHO to consume more fiber sources.
"The new Nordic diet is based on seasonal ingredients, and it aims to improve the products available in the Nordic region.The techniques used to process food may vary and should not be related to the past Nordic cooking tradition," The Nordic diet not only adapts to many dietary principles, but also aims to create flavors, expand the availability of local produce during the winter and increase the nutritional value of the food.
If you want to try a Nordic diet, you can start putting the foods into your daily diet, wherever you live. Recently the Nordic diet was published as part of a culinary demonstration at a World Health Organization symposium that discussed the benefits of diet.
The food consumed daily during the Nordic Diet includes dried fruits, grains, berries and fermented milk products such as skyr or kefir.
