Klappentext
Belgium, famous for its delectable chocolates and hearty fries, is facing a hidden health crisis: unhealthy diets. While the country boasts a rich culinary tradition, a concerning shift towards processed foods, sugary drinks, and unbalanced meals is contributing to a rise in preventable chronic diseases. This "silent killer" is stealing lives and placing a significant burden on the Belgian healthcare system.A Changing Food Landscape
Belgium has undergone a significant dietary shift in recent decades. Busy lifestyles and increased urbanization have led to a rise in convenient, processed foods. Fast-food chains and supermarkets offer readily available meals that are often high in unhealthy fats, sodium, and sugar. This convenience comes at a cost, displacing traditional home-cooked meals prepared with fresh ingredients.
The Alarming Statistics
The consequences of unhealthy diets are stark. According to the Belgian Health Institute, over half of the Belgian population is overweight or obese. This number is steadily increasing, particularly among children and adolescents. This rise in weight gain is directly linked to a surge in chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.
