Abstract
Nutrition is the process of providing every living cell collected foods in their natural state or after processing into a variety of food and drinks in order to maintain basic life functions, proper development and health. It must be nourished every cell of our body. Organic substances from digested food in the form of simple nutrients are distributed by the blood to whole human body. Nutrition is a basic need of every human being. The way we eat is the determinant of our style, standard of living, a place in society and, of course, health. Health is inseparably linked to our diet. Type of food and the way we eat helps in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The aim of the study was to assess changes in the diet of women in living in Lublin region over the last 25 years. The study included 300 women living in Lublin region, in three age groups: 20-25, 35-40, 55-60. We chosed an anonymous questionnaire as a research technique. In the questionaire we ask about the type of diet, frequency of eating fruits, meat, fast foods, snacking between meals and consumption of vegetables to meals. The study shows growing trend of eating fast food among women aged 20-25 years old over the past 25 years. This food probably contributes to many diseases such as heart disease, cancer, obesity, or anorexia, bulimia. Scientists have no illusions that eating quickly prepared and cheap food must undergo a changes, because people are becoming more aware of what they eat. The frequency of meals should be individually tailored to each human, its demand for energy, climate, age and many other factors.
