According to a recognized nutrition expert, the youth of the 1980s tended to have a healthier diet compared to today's. He indicated that during our grandparents' time, more nutritious and natural foods were consumed, such as boiled cassava or grilled tortillas.
The specialist emphasized that eating habits have changed over time, and currently, there is an increase in the consumption of fast food, processed foods, and those high in fats and sugars. These changes in diet have impacted the health of the younger population, contributing to the rise of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
In this sense, it is important to raise awareness in society about the importance of maintaining a balanced and varied diet based on fresh and natural products. Returning to the tradition of consuming foods like cassava or tortillas can be beneficial for health and overall well-being.
The expert stressed the need to promote a healthier food culture, encouraging nutritional education and access to quality food. Only through a change in eating habits can the current trend be reversed and the health of future generations improved.
