No food alone contains all of the nutrients. The more varied you eat, the lower the risk of an unbalanced diet.
Make a colourful selection from all food groups. This makes it easy for you to eat and drink wholesome food.
Plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains and potatoes provide a lot of nutrients, fibre and secondary plant substances and at the same time few calories.
Vegetable oils and nuts are high in calories, but also valuable nutrients.
In order to facilitate the adequate supply of nutrients, it makes sense to supplement the plant foods with animal foods such as milk, dairy products, fish, meat and eggs.
Sustainability
Eating and drinking according to the 10 rules of the DGE is healthy and sustainable.
The predominantly plant-based diet according to the recommendations of the DGE has less of an impact on the environment and the climate than the average common diet in Germany. In the production of plant-based foods, the consumption of resources and the emission of harmful greenhouse gases are lower than in the production of animal-based foods.
If you want, you can also buy organic quality food. In addition to environmental protection aspects, organic farming also takes animal welfare into account. According to the EC organic regulation, organic foods are e.g. B. grown without chemical-synthetic fertilizers and without pesticides. For the animals, standards for feeding and keeping must be observed. The EU organic logo and the state organic seal help you choose.
