Germany is one of the iodine deficiency countries in Europe. Marine fish and its products can considerably contribute to the iodine supply via food. The short review gives an overview on the iodine content in fish and other marine species and discusses the influence of house hold cooking and other kitchen preparations. The iodine content in marine fish depends on the species and varies considerably at high level. Lean fish species have an average iodine content of more than 100 μg I / 100 g edible part. The recommended allowance for adults of dietary iodine of 180-200 μg can be covered by the consumption of one marine fish portion per day. Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institute, Federal Research Institute for Rural Areas, Forestry and Fisheries began publishing the Informationen aus der Fischereiforschung = Information on Fishery research in 2010.

Sedentary associated with an inadequate diet is one of the major causes of obesity. Through this study we are trying on one hand, to come up with a program to inform about the effects of obesity over the body and on the other hand, a program to counsel and monitor the treatment of obesity among teenagers which can be the basis for implementing a healthy lifestyle. The study took place over a period of 9 months and followed three directions: somatic evaluation, information and intervention. With parental consent, the teenagers were monitored according to the data questionnaire and BMI evolution. Between the initial and final evaluation the students carried out a conducted program of exercises (4 hours/week) on top of the physical education classes contained in the school curriculum. The study showed us that 65% of children who have followed the information-monitoring program have reached the weight appropriate to their age, 20% had decreases of BMI but had remained at different degrees of obesity. Unfortunately 15% of the children did not have a favorable evolution of the weight curve, which is explained by the absence of family support, the desire to lose weight and a varying degree of disinterest for oneself. This study has shown that the implementation of a program of information, education and monitoring the adolescents with overweight risk becomes effective if physical activity is associated with the balanced diet and counseling from specialists in nutrition and endocrinology

The main task of the rational alimentation is to provide a balanced, corresponding to age diet, which fully satisfy the energy the body needs. Grains are in the base of the Countrywide Integrated Non-communicable Disease Intervention (CINDI) dietary guide. Many non-traditional grains have entered into commerce, reflecting not only the cosmopolitan nature of big cities, but also a general and widespread interest in a diverse range of food genres. Today, non-traditional grains are frequently grown in home gardens, allotments and community gardens and are often intimately linked with the ethnic ancestry of the growers.
