Abstract

Kontrola kalorijskog unosa te potencijalna restrikcija pokazala se kao važan element smanjenja rizika od bolesti i produljenja dugovječnosti. Zbog samog smanjenja energetskog unosa dolazi do aktivacije tzv. “gena za mršavljenje”, odnosno do aktivacije sirtuina, enzima koji podižu stopu aktivacije metabolizma, povećavaju efikasnost mišićnog sustava, potiču gubitak masnog tkiva, smanjuju upalne procese i pomažu obnavljanju tkiva. Na navedenom načelu aktivacije sirtuina pojavile su se različite dijete od kojih je jedna i tzv., „SirtFood“ dijeta, koja se temelji na što češćem unosu dvadeset namirnica koje obiluju sirtuinima te kalorijskoj restrikciji (≈ 500-1 000 kcal). Dijeta se odvija u dvije faze te su za njih osmišljeni prijedlozi jelovnika te je analiziran prosječan unos makronutrijenata i mikronutrijenata. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata navedene su prednosti, ali i mane sirtuinske prehrane te je istaknuta važnost konzultacija s nutricionistom, koji je nezamjenjiv dio na putu do uspjeha u želji za ciljanim smanjenjem tjelesne mase.

Abstract (english)

Calorie restriction has been shown as an important element in reducing risk of disease development and prolonging longevity. Energy intake reduction activates the so-called “Skinny Gene”, i.e. sirtuins. Sirtuins are enzymes that raise the rate of metabolic activation, increase the efficiency of the muscular system, promote fat loss, reduce inflammatory processes and help tissue regeneration. Various diets have emerged on this principle of sirtuin activation, one of which is "SirtFood" Diet, based on the frequent intake of twenty sirtuin-rich foods combined with calorie restriction (≈500-1000 kcal). The diet consists of two phases for which menu suggestions have been designed and the average intake of macronutrients and micronutrients has been analyzed. Based on the obtained results, the advantages and disadvantages of the sirtuin diet are stated and the importance of consultation with a nutritionist, who is an indispensable part of the path to success in the desire for targeted weight loss, is emphasized.
