Optimization of nutrition and the role of dietary supplements for food in the correction of the diet of a modern person

Abstract

The task of a healthy diet is to support the body’s resistance to adverse environmental factors and infectious agents, to provide the possibility of restoring health in case of somatic pathology and injuries. Given the growing number of people over working age in the Russian Federation, much attention should be paid to the nutrition of older people in order to maintain active longevity, physical and mental activity. Of great importance is the nutrition of a pregnant woman, since it affects not only the condition of the mother and fetus, but also programs the activity of metabolic processes in a child in adulthood. To individualize and optimize the nutrition of an individual, biologically active food supplements can be used, taking into account gender, age, level of physical activity and the physiological state of a person. Appointment and issuance of prescription forms for dietary supplements for food should not be carried out, because Dietary supplements are not medicines. However, dietary supplements should be recommended by doctors to healthy and sick people to optimize, correct and enrich the diet for the purpose of diet therapy and dietary prevention.
