HEALTH NUTRITION IN THE BULGARIAN COMMUNITY- CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES

摘要

The purpose of the present article is to present some of the contemporary approaches and priorities in the promotion of healthy eating habits in Bulgaria, in the context of the changing social reality. During the past decades, unfavourable characteristics and trends in the nutrition of the Bulgarian population have been observed. This has led to the establishment of nutrition and health strategies which conform with the recommendations of the European Union (EU) and the World Health Organisation (WHO). Health nutrition habits are primarily a matter of personal choice and motivation. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a coordinated, national nutrition policy to stimulate the individual responsibility for building healthy eating habits.
