There is a study going on in Europe entitled the HELENA study. HELENA stands for healthy lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence. It is a campaign that hopes to establish an environment that supports healthy lifestyles among children and teenagers in Europe. Adolescence is a very important place to start, when it comes to leading a healthy life. If a person starts leading a better lifestyle at this stage, it is more likely that he or she will continue it for the rest of his or her life.
In the results of this study, researchers hope to grasp new methods that would assess diet and physical activity in adolescents across the continent. They also hope to understand what makes an adolescent choose a food, so they can create new products that are healthier but offer similar attractions. They also want to learn more about cultural and social differences across Europe. They want to understand how to please all Europeans.
There will be results that show improvements and impacts of the HELENA study. It is up to the researchers to decide what they will do about the future health of Europeans. Researchers come mainly from different universities across the continent. This article really showed how much of a problem, obesity and related diseases are becoming on a global scale. It is not only a problem in the United States.
