among the Young people. The daily stress for studies, for work, the financial crisis, the high
prices of good aliments in the market, the luck of time for taking care of food and its
preparation, the bad habits of quick prepared food as using microwaves or fast food, or
universities or schools cantinas, etc. push the Young people mainly to use inappropriate ways
of eating and a bad food quality and combination of food without taking care correctly. Too
much sugar, less proteins, etc is usually consumed, spending also too much time in front of a
PC or and lab top …
Why this project?:
Statistically, more than 50% of the Young people presenting a high level of cholesterol
or low level of vitamins (low level of ferum, calcium etc), with tendency of obesity or
anorexia. Sometimes in addition of alcohol use or smoking habits the combination for the
human body and its immunization system is more than catastrophic. Live healthy and eat
healthy give more energy and happiness.
