Leads to another: the time to open a package, and 200 calories of potato chips have already disappeared in our bellies. Perhaps we would have thought twice, if we had known that and burn it will now serve the equivalent of 20 minutes of running. And, in fact, report directly on the labels the amount of physical activity required to dispose of the food seems to push to make healthier food choices. This is demonstrated by a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, which has evaluated the effectiveness of the so-called labels, Peace, Physical activity calorie equivalent, which indicate the movement that serves to dispose of a food. The sport as a deterrent, The system of labelling traditional, that indicates the caloric and nutritional content of a food, is rather complex. And shows too much information – explain the researchers – to affect really have on our food choices, and therefore have an impact on the growing obesity epidemic that is hitting all over the planet. It is for this that arises the method of Peace, a tool that is more immediate, designed to actually edit our eating habits: know that to burn 299 calories contained in a tablet of milk chocolate should make about 42 minutes of walking, 22 minutes of running is a piece of information more concrete, that might push you to reflect more before storing it in the shopping cart.
Read – Label this unknown, to learn to read them for healthy eating The labeling of Peace In the new study, the researchers analyzed all of the works available in the literature that they had compared the system of labelling Peace with other types of labels in order to understand their different impact on the purchase and consumption of food and beverages. In their analysis, the researchers focused in particular on 15 studies, the results of which showed that the labelling of Peace, when applied on the packaging of food, was associated with an average reduction of 65 calories per meal. A given, the researchers said, that, if we calculate three meals a day and two snacks, may cause us to potentially consume up to 200 calories less per day. And spare us then the 20 minutes of running necessary to dispose of them.

Get the Charter of Rights The limits of the study As indicate to the researchers, the study has limitations, as, for example, have analyzed a number of researches rather small, and that the majority was not performed in reality, i.e. in contexts such as restaurants and supermarkets. “The labelling Peace show, however, a promising potential in reducing the number of calories and the amount of food that we consume”, conclude the researchers, emphasizing that this simple strategy could easily be applied on the packaging of foods and beverages available in supermarkets, restaurants and fast-food, and contribute to the prevention and treatment of obesity.
