Annotation -
The subject gives the basic information about nutrition useable in prevention and therapy of some diseases (cardiovascular system, cancerogenic diseases, obesity, neurodegenerative disorders), about compounds in food of plant origin. Because these substances started to play more important role after the year 2000, and namely especially in connection with the development of functional food (food supplements), ethnic and individual requirements of population and style of life (vegetarianism, veganism, on the way food, food in pregnancy), there exist the necessity to know these substances and also to quantify them. One part of lectures is therefore focused on this theme.
