SVOBODOVÁ, Michala
This diploma paper sums up basic information about the most popular lowering diets and about the aspect of healthy nutrition. The theoretical part of the paper focuses primarily of the best-known fashionable diets and their drawbacks. It describes the most widely known and most widespread types of these diets, including, for instance, a divided diet, Atkinson{\crq}s diet or diet according to a blood group. It is related to another chapter that deals with mental consequences that might be caused by such diets. The paper also lists briefly basic information not only about mental anorexia, mental bulimia but also about orthorexia, bigorexia and drunkorexia that are less known. The paper also describes the principles of healthy nutrition, together with nutrition pyramid, physical activities and drinking regime. The conclusion of the theoretical part briefly deals with the issues of obesity, which is a major problem nowadays. The practical part presents the results of my research. The research part was realized by using anonymous questionnaires for two groups of students at the Secondary Medical School and the Faculty of Health and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia. These questionnaires focus on the average Body Mass Index (BMI) values in both groups and their subsequent comparison. The research shows that both of the studied groups have almost identical average BMI values. Overall results of the research show that the secondary school students{\crq} awareness of rational nutrition is very low as compared to the university students. I think it would be advisable to promote rational nutrition and the principles of healthy eating to a greater extent at secondary schools.
