Brief Summary
The Norwegian Directorate of Health recently published the Norwegian food-based dietary guidelines (NFBDG) in 2011. The target for the NFBDG is the general population, and the main aims of these guidelines are to promote public health and prevent chronic degenerative diseases. Reaching the healthy population is crucial as only small proportion of the general population comply to the current public dietary advice in Norway. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate whether a multi-faceted dietary intervention could increase compliance to the NFBDG and affect biomarkers of chronic degenerative diseases in a healthy population.
