Abstract

In this article, the authors consider the concept of “functional food” in a biomedical context. In the modern world, it is quite difficult to eat regularly and properly. A modern consumer is active, mobile, socially loaded; consequently, the minimum time per day is allocated for food. As a result, there is a slowdown in metabolic processes, and the body receives an insufficient number of useful components and vitamins. More than that, there are malfunctions in the intestine. To eliminate these problems, it is necessary to start eating functionally. It will make up for the deficiency of the necessary vitamins, minerals, and components for optimal and coordinated work, as well as weight loss. The article presents the rationale for the interrelation of functional food as an element of national culture and as a means of disease prevention. The authors propose a rationale for the “separation” of the definition of functional nutrition, formed in a certain ethno-cultural environment, from its fundamental basis in modern conditions and “transfer” to other social environments. The scientific relevance of the study is due to the growing interest of scientists to the problem of the relationship of cultures in the context of globalization, as well as the need for a more detailed study of the ancient semantic “food” unit as a representative.
