Nutrition and lifestyle are two essential factors for maintaining good health. A balanced diet, based on a balanced intake of foods in terms of quality and quantity, helps to prevent the development of various diseases. Furthermore, not only is the relationship between the well-being of the planet and that of human health increasingly evident but also of how people can, through their dietary choices, preserve the resources of the environment. The “Mediterranean Diet” which is a food model that combines a correct diet with respect for the environment, traditions and socio-cultural values is part of this bigger picture. Knowing the characteristics of food, their nutritional properties, and their impact on human health and the environment, is essential for making healthy and informed choices. For over seventy years, studies have shown that following the Mediterranean Diet helps not only to respect environmental resources, but also to prevent various diseases and to stay healthy for longer. Esselunga, together with the IRCCS Foundation National Cancer Institute of Milan and Madegus - Maestri del Gusto, has created a collection of five volumes to increase our nutrition awareness: what we eat, how to vary our diet, and how often to alternate foods for a healthy and balanced diet. This is also a journey of discovery on how our dietary choices affect both our health and the planet. Who will be our guides? Our friends the Super Foodies ! Tasty and colourful, loved by young and old, and staples in the Mediterranean diet. INTRODUCTION LET’S EAT WELL In partnership with
