Health is the greatest value of human life. Everything that makes our life full and happy depends on the state of health: the quality of life, its duration, physical activity, etc. There is a well-founded scientific opinion that with rational nutrition, the duration of human life can reach 120 - 150 years. Food provides the body with the energy necessary for movement and labor activity, serves as a source of "plastic" substances, proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as vitamins and mineral salts, due to which cells and tissues are renewed.
