A team of Danish researchers have developed a so-called ‘New Nordic Diet’ in order to improve unhealthy eating habits and tackle the growth of obesity-related diseases. Based on local Nordic ingredients such as wild berries, oat, rye, cabbage and fish, the diet could prove to be northern Europe’s answer to the widely-praised Mediterranean diet of the south. The main message of the Nordic Diet, say the researchers, is that locally produced healthy food is available everywhere.
