Description:

Lectures deal with the peculiarities of the traditional diets (Mediterranean, vegetarian, Asian, Latin). It discusses about the new dietary recommendations that combine current scientific knowledge about nutrition with traditional approaches to nutrition in the so-called traditional pyramid of healthy diet. It compares traditional diets with the diet in Western countries, and the impact of traditional diets on health is shown through the results of the most important large epidemiological studies (eg. The Seven Countries Study, The EPIC study, Lyon Diet Heart Study, Croatian Health Study). Presentation of human diet in the Paleolithic and today points to the most significant changes in farming and food preparation during industrialization as possible risk factors for health. One of the methodical units refers to the influence of religion in the selection of food and also explains the term traditional food and why it is still a topic of discussion among members of the EU. Nutrition and sustainability or eco sustainable diet is presented to students as a very important issue. Students further familiarize themselves through seminars with certain methodological units within this course (with a larger number of examples), and through field exercises is possible to get information about typical food and preparation of meals in the Mediterranean, vegetarian or Asian diet.
