The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the possible influence of the intake of certain nutrients and the composition of a complex diet on the health condition of the population. Part of the subject is also the dietetic assessment of alternative nutritional systems applied either individually ("voluntarily") or as part of the overall therapy of the disease. Emphasis is placed on the intake and utilization of proteins, the intake and composition of simple carbohydrates, the intake and importance of saturated and essential fatty acids and the origin and significance of so-called AGEs - Maillard reaction products in the organism.

Students will understand the issue of influence of inadequate intake of selected nutrients on the origin and development of non-infectious diseases of the mass occurrence. At the same time they will acquire the theoretical and directly practical knowledge and skills in the field of disorders of digestion and metabolism of selected nutrients. Benefits will also be the enhancement of presentation skills, when students prepare short messages presented to other students.
