Sažetak
We all know famous quote by Hippocrates “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food” but the way we perceive our food changed drastically in the meantime. Under the influence of globalization and technological advancement, many aspects of our lives changed drastically, and when it comes to our diet, these changes were not all good. We start to think of the health component food has only when our health is at risk. Yet, studies have shown that around 90% of people who are advised to change their lifestyle after a serious medical event such as a heart attack fail to do so. Chronic diseases are and will continue to be the major burden to our society, and they ask for a life-long commitment to our diet. We need actions that are more explicit, because basic recommendations for a healthy diet and a lifestyle are just not enough. The number of new products, especially in the segment of functional foods and dietary supplements, accompanied with the new technologies might be the solution we need.
