Nutrition Science Student Interest Group
Nutrition is a science. The science between eating habits or diet and health. As the target audience and content of the previous SZP is aimed at students of the Faculty of Medicine, the newly established Nutrition Circle will provide an opportunity for participants and interested persons from all faculties of RSU to broaden their knowledge on nutrition issues.
Healthy eating is often seen as a catch-all phrase, when it is essential to everyone's life, and to life in general.
The aim of the club is to promote the field of nutrition and bring together like-minded students through joint sessions with other SNPs, quality presentations, practical sessions, a teaching kitchen, debates, clinical case studies and presentations on new and little covered topics, thus also stimulating the interest of junior students to develop scientific papers and broaden their knowledge on nutrition.
Inviting experts from different fields - medical, healthcare, food technologists and other experts - to the meetings of the Circle, an interdisciplinary idea will be brought to life, covering many topics from medicine, welfare, food production and social issues. The comments and experiences of the guest speakers, the presentations of the students and the practical sessions provide a good basis for contacts, exchange of information and broader discussions on professional issues.
Public health nutrition is receiving widespread and growing attention and, most importantly, the focus is on educating the public themselves. People need to be made aware that scientifically based and proven eating habits are linked to the functions of the human body and that the healthier the person, the greater the benefit to society and consequently the less the burden on healthcare.
We will not only talk about the importance of nutrition, but we will make, understand and highlight the links between the course, progression and rehabilitation phases of the disease, in which nutrition is clearly an invaluable modifier.
