THE NORDIC or THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET? (2B1)

LOOK AT THE PICTURE ABOVE. HOW MANY DIFFERENT ITEMS OF FOOD CAN YOU NAME? (VOCABULARY BANK page 224)+ vocabulary englishfileonline.com
Recent research confirms something that the Scandinavian diet of fatty fish, cabbage, root vegetables and rye bread is among the healthiest in the world. You only need to look at the figures (both numerical and physical) to see the effects of a healthy diet – in Sweden obesity levels are as low as 10 per cent with the other Scandinavian countries showing similar figures.
The Nordic diet has long been overshadowed by the great success of the Mediterranean diet, but it is now being touted as a healthier, more convenient and equally as a tasty alternative by scientists and foodies alike. According to new research, northern Europeans find it difficult to stick to the Mediterranean diet – which consists of fruit, vegetables, olive oil, nuts and cereals, low amounts of red meat and dairy products – because it’s not compatible with the traditional diet and ingredients produced in northern Europe. It’s also very easy to overeat on the less healthy items of the diet such as pasta.
The Nordic diet is based on food that’s easily grown and produced in colder climates – making it cheaper as well as more environmentally friendly to produce and consume for people in northern Europe. Rich in protein, omega-3s and antioxidants, the Nordic diet is based on high intakes of cheap but tasty fish such as herring, mackerel, salmon and trout. Meat and fish are nearly always served with boiled potatoes and root vegetables, and the bread is dark brown and full of grains and oats.

ARE YOU A VEGETARIAN OR A VEGAN?

Kahoot! is a free game-based learning platform that makes it fun to learn – any subject, in any language, on any device, for all ages!
HOW DO YOU PLAY?
Kahoots are best played in a group setting, like a classroom. Players answer the questions on their own devices (individually or in teams), while games are displayed on a shared screen (the teacher´s) to unite the lesson.
