Kot ponosni partner Zveze za šport invalidov – Slovenskega paralimpijskega komiteja smo se pridružili taboru v Laškem, na katerem so se mladi invalidi in njihove družine pobližje spoznali z različnimi parašporti. 💙 V okviru spremljevalnega programa smo pripravili delavnico z zanimivimi eksperimenti, na kateri sta sodelovali naši sodelavki Neža ŠANTL in Amalija Ozmec, ki sta udeležencem tabora znanost predstavili na zabaven in poljuden način. 🌟🧪 Veseli in ponosni smo, da lahko podpiramo takšne pobude, ki mladim odpirajo vrata v svet športa, spodbujajo njihove sanje in jim omogočajo, da premikajo meje mogočega. Iskrena hvala organizatorjem za čudovito izpeljan dogodek in priložnost, da smo lahko del te lepe zgodbe. 🤝💫 #Lek #Sandoz #Parašport #Prostovoljstvo

Danes obeležujemo svetovni dan mikrobioma, ki nas spodbuja k raziskovanju osupljivega sveta mikroorganizmov, ključnih za naše zdravje in dobro počutje. 🌍🦠 💡 Prehrana neposredno vpliva na naš črevesni mikrobiom oz mikrobioto. Kot poudarja Helena Strašek, medicinska svetovalka v Leku, je prehrana ključni spremenljivi dejavnik, ki vpliva na sestavo, raznolikost in stabilnost črevesne mikrobiote. 💡 Disbioza, ali neravnovesje v sestavi črevesne mikrobiote, je povezana s številnimi akutnimi in tudi kroničnimi boleznimi, kot so debelost, sladkorna bolezen in vnetna črevesna bolezen. 💡 Kratkotrajne dramatične spremembe prehrane lahko hitro spremenijo raznolikost mikrobiote pri ljudeh, vendar so te spremembe prehodne. Pri oblikovanju stabilnega profila mikrobiote igrajo ključno vlogo vzorci, ki jih ohranjamo skozi leta. #Lek #Sandoz #WorldMicrobiomeDay #Awareness #Health #WMD2024
