Health Foods

There are about 250 million obese individuals in the world. National dietitian associations from all over the world report annually that the number of overweight adolescents and children keeps growing. In Russia, the problem of wholesome nutrition is acute and socially significant.

The key problem is that we neglect the knowledge base accumulated by dietitians and prefer unbalanced nutrition, thus depriving our body system of such vital nutrition components as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. The structure, properties and quantities of food determine growth and physical development, working ability, disease trends, mental and nervous condition, and the expected life span.

The society needs to unreliable information about the properties and quality of products, the correct food habits, and the ways to preserve your own health and that of your family members.

According to the Russian Academy of Medicine statistics, 60% of women and 50% of men aged above 30 are overweight in Russia, and more than a half of all adult Russians are stout. Obesity and associated diseases reduce the human lifespan to one half or even a third. People must be motivated to use health foods for the nation to stay healthy.

Key objectives of the program are to promote health food habits, to teach people to eat correctly, and tell them about balanced nutrition.
