The British Nutrition Foundation – a British organization that deals with food – has launched a new strategy that only requires the use of palms, fingers and fingertips to measure portions of pasta and more generally of food.
It is contained in a real guide titled “Find your balance – Get portion wise”: for example, a portion of pasta with tomato sauce can be measured by looking in the cup created by joining your hands. A portion of fresh spaghetti should fit into the space between the thumb and the index finger, joined to form a circle the size of a two-euro coin. Other foods such as meat and vegetables are measured in a similar way.
So, we can say that it’s all a question of measure: according to the latest data, 14% of the world population is obese and it is estimated that in 2045 the percentage will only increase.
