Abstract

Prehrana je iznimno bitan segment života svakog pojedinca. O kvaliteti
namirnica koje unosimo i njihovoj količini ovisi cjelokupno zdravlje organizma.
Nastajanje mnogih bolesti današnjice poput dijabetesa tipa II i kardiovaskularnih bolesti
može se prevenirati upravo konzumiranjem pravih namirnica u pravovaljanoj količini u
pravo vrijeme i na taj način osigurati kvalitetan i dug život.
Funkcija mnogih sustava unutar organizma ovisi o prehrani te količini makro i
mikronutrijenata koje unosimo.
Funkcionalnom hranom se smatra bilo koja namirnica koja sadrži tvari ili
spojeve koji aktivno djeluju na jednu ili više funkcija u organizmu. Obično su
funkcionalne namirnice obogaćene vlaknima, vitaminima, mineralima, antioksidansima
i drugim aktivnim spojevima. U ovom radu obrađeni su sljedeći funkcionalni spojevi:
željezo, vitamin E, koenzim Q10, fitosteroli, omega 3 nezasićene masne kiseline,
probiotici, prebiotici i funkcionalna fermentirana mlijeka.
Svi navedeni funkcionalni spojevi iznimno su važni za pravilno funkcioniranje
metaboličkih procesa u tijelu.

acids, probiotics, prebiotics and functional fermented milks.
