Healthy Eating
Ramirez strives to make a big contribution towards quality of life through “healthy eating”, always allied to physical exercise. The Ramirez Nutrition Centre, CENUTRA, is one of the driving forces behind this vision of the future. The CENUTRA, set up by Ramirez, with scientific support from the Faculty of Nutrition and Food Sciences (Faculdade de Ciências da Nutrição e Alimentação) of Porto University, sponsors scientific research in health, nutrition and food sciences, especially geared towards canned fish and its benefits; and it has a very specific focus on the production of content for nutrition training. The CENUTRA aims to seek scientific knowledge that will lead to a healthy diet and disseminate it among the community. The goal is to help to promote the Mediterranean diet. With the introduction of the so-called Junk Food, society has forgotten the benefits that canned sardines – with its high content in proteins and also vitamins B1, B2, PP, Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron and Copper – can provide to pregnant women, growing children, osteoporosis suffered by the elderly, as well as contributing to greater longevity of all of us. The Faculty of Nutrition and Food Sciences of Porto University supervises the CENUTRA in the fields of science, education and raising awareness among the consumer.

Famous quotes containing the words healthy and/or eating:
“Some parents feel that if they introduce their children to alcohol gradually in the home environment, the children will learn to use alcohol in moderation. I’m not sure that’s such a good idea. First of all, alcohol is not healthy for the growing child. Second, introducing alcohol to a child suggests that you condone drinking—even to the point where you want to teach your child how to drink.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“When eating a bowl of porridge or rice, remember that it is not easy to come by.”
—Chinese proverb.
