How does healthy eating work? The German Nutrition Society (DGE) has a clear answer to this question and this year provided us with new recommendations for healthy foods that are relevant not only for canteens and hospitals, but also for each individual. But how healthy are the DGE's nutritional recommendations really? The DGE recommends up to 300 grams of meat per week. Is that too much? After all, the DGE's recommendations not only take health into account, but also the environment. Wouldn't plant-based foods like pulses ultimately be healthier and more climate-friendly? You can find out in the video why the DGE does not recommend less meat. Another criticism: The DGE recommendations are aimed primarily at healthy adults. And in Germany, they make up less than half of the population. After all, there are many people with diabetes, obesity and other pre-existing conditions or food allergies. And what about children, adolescents, pregnant women and senior citizens, who also need special nutrient compositions. // Chapter 0:00 Are the DGE recommendations unhealthy? 0:40 What is healthy food? 3:18 What does the DGE recommend? - The climate also plays a role 5:18 Why not eat even less meat and more pulses? 8:29 Should you stick to the recommendations? - Criticism of the nutrition circle // Our team Author: Mathias Tertilt Camera and editing: Carolin Grimm Graphics: Judith Bornmann Editor: Max Ostendorf // Click here for the source document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d... // More on the topic Even more information and classification of the DGE and the recommendations can be found on quarks.de: https://www.quarks.de/gesundheit/erna...
