The living room by day June 21st at 6.30pm, which will take place at the Spazio Open in Via Filippini, will have as its theme “The importance of food supplements in our diet: when and how to take them”. Food supplements are products that are used to supplement normal nutrition, they are used a lot in sporting activities to restore salt balance, in old age, where there are important nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin D, Selenium, Iron deficiency. Supplements, however, are not medicines even if they are also subject to strict regulation by the current legislation in force.
Although they are not drugs, in fact, food supplements can also give rise to side effects and can present various contraindications. In no case, however, can these products be considered as an alternative to healthy and balanced lifestyle habits, much less as a remedy aimed at curbing or repairing the damage caused by pathologies or incorrect eating habits. The correct approach for the correct use of food supplements, therefore, first requires knowledge of these products: what are they? What is their purpose?
The doctor will answer the interesting questions Maria Antonietta Barilla Pharmacist who will report on the importance of food supplements: useful information for recognizing and taking them and Dr Antonio Paolillo who will report on the importance of a healthy and balanced diet, focusing on the legislative aspect linked to the sector. The meeting is sponsored by the Professional Order of Food Technologists Basilicata Calabria.
