The extreme weather conditions of the Far North are well-known, and because of the climate-related health threats this climatic zone in Russia is regarded as highly unfavourable for living. In order to improve the living conditions, it is primarily important to develop well-balanced diets with all the necessary micronutrients and macronutrients included. In addition to the unfavourable weather conditions, employees engaged in oil and gas exploration and production suffer from chemical, physical and other harmful factors of the industrial environment. These negative factors disrupt metabolism and the immune system, and affect general well-being, work performance and life expectancy. There are a number of factors to be taken into account when developing diets aimed at replenishing nutrients and improving the general well-being of people living and working in the Far North [1-5]
