Brief Summary

Good health is an important indicator of the quality of life, in which healthy nutrition and physical activity take an important place. Healthy nutrition and physical activity according to the guidelines of WHO are closely related to lower general and specific mortality rates due to heart and coronary diseases and cancer, which are the top reasons for mortality from non-communicable diseases. Every year, 41 million people die from non-communicable diseases, which represents 71% of the total number of global deaths. This largely invisible epidemic is more serious in low- and middle-income countries, where 85% of non-communicable diseases premature deaths occur
