Abstract
To mark the 75th anniversary of the Society for Nutrition, the team of authors created an innovated version of the Nutrition Recommendations for the population of the Czech Republic. Today we bring the Healthy Thirteen to people over the age of 70.
Nutrition recommendations are intended for healthy people and serve to prevent diseases of civilization, in which proper nutrition plays a significant role. Civilization diseases include atherosclerosis and its complications (heart attack, stroke), high blood pressure, diabetes (type 2 diabetes mellitus), obesity and some cancers, which with their complications lead to disability and shorten life.
