A reflection that stems from observing the early symptoms of eating disorders in young people, specifically the choice to isolate oneself from family meals or dinners to build a new consumption identity, on the remnants of oral traditions passed down from one's family history and its connection to the rich Mediterranean region.

From the colon to the esophagus, from the ovary to the breast, from the liver to the pancreas, even up to multiple myeloma, weight gain promotes almost all oncological neoplasms, which find contributing factors in fat and inflammation. This is demonstrated by a report from the World Health Organization (WHO), which, as good news, shows that losing weight helps modify the risk curve.

Weight loss does not occur because fewer calories are consumed but because one is more active and eats better, thanks to a lifestyle that is a world heritage: the Mediterranean diet

Perché due terzi della longevità dipendono dallo stile di vita e solo un terzo dall'ereditarietà genetica.
