How healthy eat the tyroleans? A new FH health in Innsbruck explains and gives exciting details about the eating behavior of women and men.
Now it is on the table, the second Tyrolean Nutritional Collection of the University of Applied Sciences (FH) Health in Innsbruck. Because the investigation took place partly in Pandemie years, not all data is representative. “We were only able to record participants from Innsbruck and the surroundings,” explains Judith Erler, one of the authors of the Detology course.
Sporty contemporaries with less body fat
Nevertheless: the survey gives a good picture of eating habits. 327 people were interviewed and measured (comment, weight, body fat). According to the Body Mass Index (BMI), 40 percent of men and 30 percent of women have overweight or obese (obese). However: “In Tyrol people have a lower body fat share in what is positive. If you calculate that, 30 percent of men and 20 percent of women are still hit by overweight or obesity,” Erler adds.
Air up in fruit, vegetables, legumes
Although the share of vegetarians among the respondents is relatively high at 10.2 percent, meat is often on the menu for most. Men consume more than 3.6 times the number of recommended meat section, women 1.5 times the quantity. On the other hand, there is still enough room for improvement in fruit, vegetables and legumes, Diagnoses Erler: “Consumption of legumes is increasing, with regard to the recommendations, this food group should find even more room on the Tyrolean board.”
“You eat your belly and eat your mind,” says Anna Elisabeth Purscher, who leads the dietology of the FH course. The knowledge of healthy eating is pretty good today, now it’s time to implement. “It starts with purchasing,” says Purnscher and calls the goal: “More vegetable food.”
Lighting important, but not forbid everything
Health councilor Cornelia Hagele (ÖVP) relies on information: “We take the current results as an opportunity to adjust our programs in kindergartens and schools.” In the case of sugar bans and other possible regulations, LR -Hagel is skeptical: “What is forbidden is often all the more interesting.”
In the interview, Judith Erler of the Dietology Course of the FH Health gives valuable tips to change your diet:
“Krone”: In her study, Mrs. Erler was 10.2 percent of the vegetarians surveyed and at least 2.4 percent vegan. Can that be killed for the whole of Tyrol?
Judith Erler: Because we could only interrogate people from the Innsbruck area because of Pandemeie, this share cannot be redefined on all of Tyrol. Pure vegetable feeding is higher in the case of a city diet.
Most data in her studies reflect the eating behavior of all Tyroleans. The high meat consumption is no surprise. But how does the switch to more vegetable food succeed?
It goes step by step. It is useful to weigh the meats once to get a feeling for the quantities used. Thanks to alternatives such as mushrooms, the cut tastes with less meat. On the homepage of the Ministry of Health there is a recipe collection with many ideas for a healthy diet.
Can the switch be easier in the summer?
I think so, because now there are so many fresh fruit and fruit varieties on the market. Much is also ideal for grilling. It doesn’t always have to be meat. And if, prefer herbs with herbs, because pre -made mixtures contain a lot of salt.
30 different plants per week is a new rule of thumb and the title of a book. Reasonable?
The formula helps us to discover the wide variety of food. It doesn’t have to be 30, but it is possible.
