Declaration
The undersigned support that:
- A healthy and active lifestyle is key in promoting health and reducing health risks.
- A balanced diet such as is found in the Mediterranean lifestyle, which includes moderation in all aspects of life including wine consumption, is recognised as being a positive contributor to a sustainable and healthy lifestyle.
- When formulating guidelines and recommendations, it should be done considering the consistent work of researchers who produce ever-evolving scientific evidence which:
- Communicates objectively both positive and negative results of well-designed scientific studies.
- Considers the ratio of benefits and risks to better understand how lifestyle and dietary factors impact health, mainly on all-cause mortality and incidence of more prevalent chronic diseases.
- Education and providing information to all ages are key elements to promoting a healthy lifestyle, always considering the cultural heritage of the population and the sustainability of the planet.
