Theory of adequate nutrition and trophology

The topic of nutrition combines scientific, environmental, moral and ethical issues. Since the time of Hippocrates, food has been compared to the most powerful medicine. A number of amazing discoveries were made in the second half of the 20th century by Academician Alexander Ugolev and outlined in his "theory of adequate nutrition". He assigns a key role in the human digestive system to microflora and even suggests considering it a separate "organ", since its functions include stimulating immunity, assimilating iron, synthesizing vitamins, thyroid health, etc. However, not all microflora is useful. The traditional nutrition system that has developed over centuries contributes to the formation of pathogenic microflora, which ultimately leads to many diseases and problems. Useful microflora, which can produce all the vitamins, elements and substances necessary for human life, requires a diet of raw plant foods. The author notes that nutrition is necessary not only to maintain the body's physiology, but also affects the psychological state of a person. Alexander Ugolev also presents an interdisciplinary science - trophology - which combines all aspects of healthy nutrition. The book is intended for a prepared reader, but will also be useful for a wide range of people whose interests include a healthy lifestyle."
