This pact, signed earlier this month in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) under the Fourth World Pasta Congress, has been driven by the U.S. organization Oldways, author in 1993, together with the World Health Organization in the famous Food Guide Pyramid.
The professor of physiology at the University of Murcia Marta Garaulet, the English representative in this international group, which includes researchers from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Canada, USA, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Turkey and Venezuela, has stressed that these micronutrients are not behind the alarming rise in obesity and that excess calories which pushes up the scale.
Garaulet said that at this time when obesity and diabetes are increasing worldwide, not just in developed Western countries, pasta and other foods of low glycemic index can help control blood sugar levels blood and weight, and explained that very low carbohydrate diets are not healthy, especially in the long term.
This professor, Doctor of Pharmacy and Master in Public Health from Harvard University, and directs a research project of the Ministry of Education chronobiology and obesity, said that high-fat diet, those considered "miracle" with the high protein, have adverse effects on blood vessels, which are not reflected in plasma markers, decreased cognitive ability, causing imbalances in minerals and are behind other minor effects such as halitosis, hair loss and headaches.
Garaulet added that, as evidenced in this World Congress, has been shown that after a long-term dietary intervention with the same calorie menus and different proportions of nutrients, three types of monitoring gave rise to weight loss similar, irrespective de las proporciones de nutrientes.
Sin embargo, según esta investigadora, a pesar de presentar pérdidas de peso semejantes, el porcentaje de abandono de las dietas hiperproteicas se sitúa en el 75%; el de las hipergrasas, en cerca del 50%, y en menos del 40% en quienes siguieron una dieta equilibrada.
“Si tenemos en cuenta que el individuo debe aprender a comer para mantener el peso deseado durante toda la vida, la mejor dieta del mundo no sirve de nada si no se puede seguir a largo plazo”, defiende esta profesora.
Asimismo, ha alertado de que se está poniendo de moda etiquetar ciertos alimentos con el indicativo “bajo en carbohidratos”, y ha dicho que lo más Surprisingly, not only happens in countries like USA, Canada, Spain or Portugal, where about 47% of women say they are constantly on a diet, but in other places on earth where most of the population goes hungry.
On the coexistence of hunger, malnutrition and obesity, Marta Garaulet explained that in Colombia, Chile and Argentina may coincide in the same family obese mothers and children malnourished, hungry and are obese, so that she should stop talking about undernutrition and overnutrition to go to called "malnutrition" to what is happening.
has ensured that this astonishing situation only alcanza comiendo la llamada ‘fast food’ de elevada densidad calórica y muy baja densidad en nutrientes, y ha puesto como ejemplo que un niño puede estar obeso, y pasar hambre, con el consumo de dos litros de refresco al día y una bolsa de patatas fritas como único alimento.
“La dieta se ha de entender como un todo, y se ha de comer una variedad de carbohidratos, grasas y proteínas saludables”, ha concluido Garaulet, quien afirma que “en contra de lo esperado, comer sano, según demuestran los estudios económicos, es todavía más barato que comer insano”.
