TNMU Student Told the Members of Ternopil Plast about the Importance of Balanced Nutrition

On April 7, 2024, a student of TNMU Faculty of Medicine Khrystyna Zhukovska (MM-102) gave a lecture on the topic “Proteins, fats, carbohydrates and their role in a balanced diet” for the Ternopil Kateryna Bilokur Girls’ Kurin of Plast.

The goal was to tell the teenagers about such concepts as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and their functions. Which foods contain these nutrients, and what role do they play in the human body? Why is it better to use certain fruits, vegetables, legumes and meat? How are fats different from carbohydrates? What is the harmful role of trans fats in human life?

During the lecture, the girls listened attentively and asked questions from time to time. They also noted important aspects and were extremely active.

After the lecture, the girls made their own conclusions about the importance of a balanced diet and maintaining the correct ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. This topic is extremely relevant, because it is so important to understand what is contained in the products we consume every day.
