HERVERT-HERNANDEZ, Deisy. The role of cereals in nutrition and health for a sustainable diet. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.spe3, pp.52-55. Epub 21-Nov-2022. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04312.
Over the last years, the impact of food systems on human and planetary health has been appointed. The transition towards more sustainable and healthier diets is postulated as an urgent measure to address the increasing environmental and health concerns related to the current food production and consumption systems.
This work reviews recent developments to integrate sustainability into dietary recommendations and food-based dietary guidelines, recognising the role of cereals as the basis for healthy sustainable dietary patterns. It is worth noting that a change in current eating patterns, to achieve greater adherence to existing official dietary guidelines, is proposed as a more realistic and feasible goal to improve the environmental and health impact of food systems. In this context, cereals play a key role as fundamental pillar of healthy and sustainable dietary patterns, due to their energy and nutrient contribution to human diet worldwide, and the different health benefits associated with an adequate intake of grain fibre and wholegrains.
