💡 🥦 #fresh results of #SIMenu study on #adolescents highlight insufficient intakes of vegetables in over 90% of the population. This also explains inadequate intakes of dietary fibre. On the other hand, insufficient protein intake was only found in up to 13% in age/sex specific sub-populations. 🔗 Full paper: https://lnkd.in/eDb32Vhb ...with Rok Poličnik, Urška Blaznik, Matej Gregorič PhD, Jerneja Farkaš - Nacionalni inštitut za javno zdravje NIJZ, Sonja Smole Možina - University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty, Barbara Koroušić Seljak - Jozef Stefan Institute; Hristo Hristov, Živa Lavriša, and Igor Pravst - Inštitut za nutricionistiko/Nutrition institute.

💁♂️ Po seriji razkritij o 💊 prehranskih dopolnilih je N1 Slovenija izvedel tudi izčrpen intervju z našim direktorjem, ki pravi, da si je končno nekdo upal na glas povedati, kar drugi mislijo. Takole je razložil, kako potrošniki napačno interpretirajo zdravstvene trditve na dopolnilih: ℹ "Trditev, da ima vitamin C vlogo pri delovanju imunskega sistema, ne pomeni, da bo nekdo z dodajanjem vitamina C imel boljši imunski sistem. Gre le za sporočilo, da je za normalno delovanje imunskega sistema treba imeti zadosten vnos tega vitamina, medtem ko vnosi, večji od priporočil, nimajo dokazanega kakšnega dodatnega pozitivnega učinka. Dnevnemu vnosu vitamina C zadostimo že z eno samo papriko, hkrati pa je ta vitamin v raznovrstnem sadju in zelenjavi, zato pri večini prebivalcev ni nobene potrebe po njegovem dodajanju s prehranskimi dopolnili." 🔗 Povezava do članka: https://lnkd.in/eHhHcYk2 ... with Igor Pravst - Inštitut za nutriscionistiko / Nutrition institute. 🙏Zahvala stas zgonik & Suzana Lovec - N1 Slovenija za podporo pri ozaveščanju!

💊💁🏻♂️Zanimiv #podcast pogovor o prehranskih dopolnilih z vodjo raziskovalne skupine na Inštitutu za nutricionistiko. Vas zanima če tudi on uporablja prehranska dopolnila in katera? https://lnkd.in/eh-9Ypjg 🙏Zahvala voditeljici Bredi Štivan Bonča in uredništvu oddaje Dnevna soba na TV Slovenija za pomoč pri ozaveščanju! ... z Polona Fijavz, RTV Slovenija

👏Our #nursing #homes pilot just #published: Majority of #elderlies without supplementation had severe #vitaminD #deficiency with serum 25-OH-D levels bellow 30 nmol/L - 92% in males and 71% in females. In a subgroup of nursing home residents, all had vitamin D deficiency! 💁🏻♂️Do not forget! ☀️💊Elderlies are commonly not sufficiently exposed to sunlight even during summer months, therefore vitamin D supplementation is indicated in all seasons. Based on these results, we started much larger nationally representative #NuriCare study. ℹ️Link to full paper: https://lnkd.in/ejJd-y-H More about Nutricare study: 🔗🇬🇧https://lnkd.in/eujYbpjH 🔗🇸🇮https://lnkd.in/e8RhJeTR ...with Živa Lavriša and Igor Pravst.
