Your plate has a history. It might also be your health fix.
In our latest blog, we explore how Central European food traditions can offer valuable insights into healthier eating, nutrition and wellbeing, and how cultural heritage can inform the way we approach food and health today.
Drawing on discussions from our recent International Academy of Nutrition Educators (IANE) webinar, the blog brings together perspectives from three presenters: Jaroslav Guzanič, Dr Eliška Selinger and Dagmar Štruncová, highlighting the connections between traditional dietary patterns, nutritional evidence and healthier food futures.

More than a third of the global population is overweight and at increased risk for major health problems. Obesity treatment emphasises lifestyle changes, including dietary modification. Individuals following plant-based diets typically have reduced obesity risk.
Diets high in animal protein, especially processed and red meat, have been associated with an increased obesity risk

How effective are vitamin A supplementation campaigns in reducing child mortality?
WHO recommends high-dose vitamin A supplementation (VAS) in vitamin A-deficient areas. Many countries deliver VAS in national campaigns. Based on randomised trials from the 1980s to 1990s, such campaigns are assumed to reduce all-cause mortality by 12–24%

ALT This image showcases an article from BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health on the real-life effect of vitamin A supplementation on all-cause mortality. The article is displayed on a tablet screen placed next to a laptop on a white surface. A text at the bottom invites viewers to learn how real-life evidence challenges assumptions about vitamin A supplementation and its relation to mortality.

Estimating ventilator derived energy expenditure
Accurate estimation of energy expenditure (EE) is essential to guide nutritional therapy in critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients. Inadequate nutritional dosing in either direction is linked with adverse outcomes, including increased morbidity and mortality. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is the accepted gold standard for measuring EE, as endorsed by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism ESPEN
