Healthy eating

Foods affect our health, so what we eat can improve our health.

The food industry sees health as one of the biggest challenges in the coming years. As an international food industry that produces food for about 15 million people a year, we see health as one of the most important criteria for food production in the future.

Health is not new to us. We have been thinking about health in our products for decades. We will continue this trend through research and development to continue to offer healthy products that consumers can eat healthily.

To ensure and improve the health of the future, the food industry in Denmark considers it necessary to focus on the following areas:

Efforts to target children and young people can have a very positive impact

Health is about addiction to some extent. Action against children has been shown to have a significant impact on children’s habits. What you learn as a child will be taken with you into adulthood. That is why it is absolutely important to focus on children and young people.

Placement for the elderly can prolong the life

In Denmark, the elderly do not live as long as in neighboring countries and this needs to change. Even small changes in the diet and lifestyle of the elderly can have profound effects. There is a need for concrete information and tangible initiatives that can ensure a healthier life and a better quality of life for the elderly.

Talk to consumers about health

More information and education is a good and safe way to improve the health of the population, not only now but in the future. Consumers should not be guided but helped to make the right decision. This needs to be done with the support of a good business, such as: increasing consumers ’knowledge of cooking and food.

Research and development ensure healthy products

The food industry is constantly involved in the research and development of healthier products, e.g. with less salt or fat. The goal is to increase the nutritional value of foods while having a good taste experience. Health research will be a strategic focus area for the food industry in the future.

 You need to focus on more workouts

A concerted effort is needed to make Dani move more. More information and campaigns can contribute to positive development. More practice-based experiences can also help promote practices such as "Landslagsbrautir", which combines a refreshing walk with a good natural experience.

There is a greater need to bear the burden through increased cooperation on health issues

Everyone in our community must contribute to health. As many people as possible must think about health in all relevant contexts. The influence of attitudes from many sides puts positive pressure on consumption habits. Therefore, cooperation and collaboration are a sure path to better health.
