Scientists have found that most people overlook calorie data on food and beverages, printed on their packaging and it makes this information is pointless. So they say it is more reasonable to consider how long it will take to burn the calories from unhealthy consumed drink or food.
Scientists believe that information about how long the exercises would take a person to burn the calories from any food or drink, would have more impact on him as a consumer. For example, they have calculated that the calories in the double cheeseburger are equivalent to a 5.6-mile March.
And if you did, you would have to run six miles to burn calories that are consumed with one bottle of 500 ml. car, would you ever drink it?
Scientists call such data to be printed on the packaging. Bottle of half a liter of Cola contains 210 calories, which is more than a 10th of the daily recommended intake for a woman. American scientists believe that to burn those calories, you will need to run for 40 minutes.
Researchers from the school "Johns Hopkins Bloomberg" in Baltimore called for the same approach to introduce and fast food restaurants. Their findings are published in the American Journal of public health, wrote in the newspaper the Daily Mail. Study leader Professor Sara is an ongoing says: "people don't really understand what they mean and how many calories 250 would take us to burn them. If they are aware of this information, it may encourage them to change their attitude towards nutrition. "
The wife of us President Barack Obama – Michelle also calls for improvements in the labelling of foodstuffs. Recently, she said: "there is a strong scientific link between the consumption of sugary drinks and obesity. Using these easy-to-understand signs may help in the prevention of obesity and increase physical activity. "
