Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria : Today´s number is about…summer diets

It´s a fact that during the summer, people tend to be less strict with their daily diets. Ice cream, beer, and soft drinks are consumed almost daily, while the heat and the fact of being on vacation cause sports to fade into the background. And this, according to a study by Aora Health, has its consequences.

According to the data from this study, 54% of Spaniards say they change their diet during the summer (and not just during the vacation period) and 26% gain more than five kilos. In the study, 23% say they consume more beer and soft drinks, 35% increase their intake of ice cream and sweets, and 5% consume more prepared foods. Only 36% say they eat more fruits and vegetables.
