The research, part of the European CoDiet project, aims to validate innovative diet tracking technologies to better understand the relationship between the food we eat and common diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer. By participating, you will not only help to improve knowledge of the impact of what we eat on our health, but you will also receive a report with a detailed analysis of your body composition measured by bioimpedance (weight, total body water, fat-free mass, musculoskeletal mass and body fat mass).
Selected participants will be rewarded with 200 euros.
