Start the first days in favor of good food and health (11/12/2019)

The Department of Commerce and Markets, in its interest to improve the healthy consumption of food and the quality of life of Murcia, has organized the first conference on "Healthy Food and Consumption" that are being held this morning in the Assembly Hall of the Moneo building.

The first of the conferences, by the specialist doctor in Endocrinology and Nutrition, Juan Madrid, has focused on "Cardio-Healthy Food. Myths and realities."

In this sense, he has pointed out how life habits do not modify genes but can influence genetics.

Thus, he stressed the importance of carrying out healthy lifestyle habits, where a Mediterranean diet, the practice of exercise, avoiding the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and chronic stress plays an essential role.

For its part, the UMU Professor of Nutrition and Bromatology, María Jesús Gastón, has spoken about the "Interpretation of food labeling".

A workshop has also been given where the professor has explained to consumers how to look for hidden sugars and saturated fats in food labeling.

The responsible councilor Juan Fernando Hernández has stressed that "these first days respond to the commitment that from the Department of Commerce we acquired with heart-healthy food and its promotion through the squares and municipal markets."
