agrees.”(Nielsen, 2015).

don't eat well, smoke, and drink more than they should, do not control stress
or look after their arterial tension, and only the 16,1% according to the

In Brazil is
possible to enjoy a fast food without the necessity of risking the quality of
what is eaten. For example the famous “Natural Sandwiches”, which are
delicious and are made with integral bread, ricotta cheese, turkey or lean
ham or tuna, lettuce, striped carrots, tomatoes and/or fresh fruits.
|

is not a number of how much the health business has grown in Colombia, it is
estimated that the market with products with benefits moves around 20% of the
consume of food in the country, and grows a 10% per year
|
In agreement
with Euro international monitor, the consume of baked goods high on fibers
and vitamins creates more interest for products that are great for health and
wellness, the protagonicals of the market adapted their routes to offer
integral, fortified, functional and low calories food.
