20.500.12556/RUL-151693 The activities of the Slovenian Strategic Council for Nutrition 2023/24 to improve the health of the Slovenian population and the sustainability of food a narrative review The health status of individuals in Slovenia across age groups is a matter of concern, as current unsustainable lifestyle choices are already leading to various chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Outdated national dietary guidelines, their inconsistent implementation, and a lack of structural changes represent obstacles to promoting healthy and sustainable nutrition. Limited access to and rising prices of healthy, sustainable foods, in addition to the high availability of low-priced, highly processed foods, increase the risk of NCDs. The lack of systematic health monitoring and early disease detection poses a challenge. Global and local environmental issues, resistance, and/or the inability to adopt healthier diets hinder individuals from changing their nutritional behaviours. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the current situation in Slovenia as well as planned activities initiated by the Slovenian government and the Prime Minister’s Strategic Council for Nutrition, aiming to make progress in supporting healthy and sustainable nutrition, limiting food waste, and increasing the availability of healthier foods for all. Improving the sustainability of the Slovenian food system can contribute to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring Slovenia’s commitment to internationally agreed-upon targets. This could lead Slovenia to take a role as a pilot country in testing and implementing the necessary systemic changes, which could be further applied in other countries. healthy nutrition sustainable nutrition dietary guidelines chronic diseases monitoring healthy lifestyle javno zdravje zdrava prehrana trajnostni razvoj zdravstvene navade Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Slovenija; Članek v reviji 2023-10-17 08:33:33 2023-10-17 08:33:38 2023-10-18 03:40:12 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1-21 issue 20, [article no.] 4390 Vol. 15 Oct. 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 613.2(497.4) 2072-6643 10.3390/nu15204390 168669443 Kamin_et_al_N.pdf Kamin_et_al_N.pdf 1 3A1454424E3F5084414CB677DA0A3B63 416b12975ea0bcb8b252b60535686081ee5624a03d9505eefbe9dd3d71b8d131 1465dfef-6cb9-11ee-89b7-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176726 https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/20/4390 0 280959fe-6cb9-11ee-89b7-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176727 Fakulteta za družbene vede Fakulteta za farmacijo Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
