Plant-Based Union calls for the development of healthy diets Plant-based healthy diets need to be developed! This was stated by the Executive Director of the Union of Producers of Plant-Based Products Valeria Rodina in the framework of the IV business forum " Responding to New Challenges in Technological Isolation” at the International Industrial Academy. In the future, it is important to include plant products in the diets of therapeutic and preventive nutrition of various categories of citizens, organized groups and collectives..

“Increasing the share of plant foods in the daily menu of a resident of Russia or reducing animal products to a minimum will help reduce the risk of developing problems with pressure, blood vessels, and will have a positive effect on digestion. As a result, the person will feel much better.. This is confirmed by scientific experts,"

Plant-based diets help fight obesity. This problem is getting worse every year.. Especially among children. According to Rospotrebnadzor, 18% of schoolchildren are overweight, and 8% are obese.. The reason is malnutrition and a sedentary lifestyle..

“Without switching to special diets, the issue cannot be resolved.. Plant-based diets will help avoid the consumption of foods high in fat, and, conversely, provide the body with vitamins and minerals.. Fortified foods are needed here. Manufacturers of plant-based products are trying to saturate food with essential vitamins and minerals.. However, often the population does not understand the added benefit of fortified products, considers it harmful.. It is important to overcome these prejudices in society,” Rodina added..

Fiber-rich foods form a positive microflora in the intestines, which has a positive effect on the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases..

Most importantly, Valeria Rodina emphasized, it is necessary to focus on developing health-saving technologies, which include a set of areas for preserving the health of the population, for example, medical examinations, diet, consumer culture, physical education, outdoor activities, ensuring health-oriented working conditions, etc.. “In the future, an integrated approach will correct the trend in the development of a number of diseases among the population and become more open in the perception of innovative food products,” the executive director of the Union of Plant-Based Producers is sure.
