  diet is better for young people, because it has a
  great variety and its healthy and can give them
  all the nutrients and energy necessary to a good
  development and activities. Dieta Mediterrânica é
  ideal para os jovens, já que é uma dieta variada

  energia necessária ao seu metabolismo e
  actividades. A aquisição desta dieta como hábito
  alimentar é também desejável, já que também é
  caracterizada por incentivar à prática de
  exercício físico que, na mesma medida dos
  alimentos que compõem a dieta, ajuda à prevenção
  de problemas de saúde graves.
