Sažetak
Nowadays we are witnessing the rising popularity of various new diets and nutrition trends. They are not new, but are Paleo diet and raw nutrition just a trend? As the popularity of these diets increases, the discussion of their potential health benefits and risks also arises. Raw food or “raw” veganism is generally considered to be diet that does not include food processing methods such as cooking, homogenizing, pasteurizing, sterilizing, etc. On the other hand, it involves soaking, dehydrating, blending, juicing and ways that heat up food at temperatures up to 40-48 ° C, and is based mostly on fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, germs and legumes intake. A modern diet based on presumed diet of our Paleolithic ancestor, so-called Paleo diet, includes lean meat, fish, seafood, fruit, vegetables, roots, eggs and nuts intake with exclusion of grains, dairy products, salt and refined fats and sugars. They are often attributed with health benefits such as body mass reduction, risk reduction of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and some types of cancers. In addition to benefits, there are some potential health risks that go with them as well. Diets like that may not be properly balanced and are often lacking in certain nutrient intake or exclude whole food groups which may lead to nutrient deficiency. The aim of this lecture is to provide basic framework for these diets and a short overview of available scientific literature on possible positive and negative effects on human body.
