The Project
Solutions to tackle children and adolescent’s obesity through the Mediterranean way of life
Although the traditional Mediterranean lifestyle is considered one of the healthiest dietary patterns, the Med region is paradoxically one of the areas where overweight and obesity are most prevalent in the world. Chronic diseases related with lifestyle are raising in Northern, Southern and Eastern Mediterranean areas. This is mainly due to the decline in adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) in the Med societies. DELICIOUS aims to reverse this decline by bringing its consumption back to Mediterranean societies starting from the demographic group who needs it the most: our children and adolescents. DELICIOUS will identify and understand the socio-economic and cultural factors hindering Mediterranean Diet adherence, and will provide innovative solutions for dietary shifts towards sustainable Mediterranean Diet.
DELICIOUS will consider social, economic and environmental perspectives of the MD and will adopt an integrated approach for an effective food behaviour change, combining 6 specific actions:
- Understanding which modifiable factors lead to deviation from Mediterranean Diet in Med societies
- Nutritional and sustainability analysis of Mediterranean recipes
- Reformulation of recipes by professional cooks for higher sustainability, adequation to physical activity and acceptability by children
- A digital educational platform that will provide nutritionally/physically balanced and sustainable weekly plans
- Formal and non-formal education about sustainable Mediterranean Diet in combination with physical activity
- Co-creation by children and chefs of new, healthy, Mediterranean Diet-based and bioactive-rich snacks to complement the meal plans
