Eating like a Viking can reduce the damaging effects of being overweight

A Nordic diet, full of fish, vegetables, berries and rapeseed oil can reduce the damaging effects of being overweight, a study found.

Nordic researchers discovered the Nordic diet can prevent inflammation which is associated with many obesity-related diseases.

The diet seems to stops the expression of a gene in fat cells found below the skin, which is associated with inflammation.

Inflammation of the fat tissue below the skin, known as the subcutaneous adipose tissue, is believed to cause many health problems such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure.
