https://doi.org/10.36107/hfb.2022.i1.s128
Abstract
Introduction. Currently, the popularity of various restrictive diets tends to increase in most countries of the world. Today, more and more children do not eat whole food groups for various reasons. At the same time, in some cases, these are products that contain the necessary micro- and macronutrients for the development of the child.
The purpose of this article is to study the impact of restrictive diets on a child's health based on data from a number of clinical studies.
Materials and methods. The data of modern scientific literature, consensus papers and international recommendations on the impact of restrictive diets on human health were analyzed.
Results and conclusion. The article presents current information on the impact of long-term adherence to restrictive diets on a child's health. The greatest attention is paid to vegetarianism, its varieties and a long-term dairy-free diet in young children. Possible deficiency states are indicated if these diets are observed. The opinions of various consensus papers of the associations of nutritionists of some countries on the possibility of observing vegetarianism at different age periods, and especially in children and women during pregnancy and lactation, are presented. Possible ways to improve the effectiveness of restrictive diets in childhood are highlighted.
