Life style and diet

The srudy of Malik  Falkenmark and his colleagues of the Stockholm International Water Institute shows that food reserves are steadily decreasing, while the global population continues to increase: http://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/SWW2012/. We must therefore change, becoming vegetarian because as outlined Umberto Veronesi: “We cannot use half of the cereals, and three quarts of soy products in the world to support the growth of grazing animals while a piece of humanity dies of hunger.” Are in fact 900 million hungry people and 2 billion malnourished ones. In addition, cardiovascular problems, diabetes and obesity already in childhood are determined in large part by this diet, that consists of too much food. It’s clear that in the West we  often are sedentary, overfed and without the social support to change. Therefore, next to the radical change of diet,  we must combine physical activity and positive social relations. Certainly, the genes of which we are provided give us a hand, but a life style based on the satisfaction of these three aspects will allow us to lead a healthy and positive lifestyle as long as possible.
