The new healthy eating pyramid are understood within a framework of global health, with the aim of contributing to the well-being and quality of life. They include topics such as mindful eating. That is, to think and plan with time the food that will be beneficial to us and how to prepare it. The 'emotional' aspects of eating are also mentioned, such as the evidence that a higher intake of carbohydrates and fats is associated with anger, anxiety or frustration.
