Nutrition

Nutrition is the scientific study of how food and nutrients influence human health, growth, and physiological function across the lifespan. It examines the digestion, absorption, metabolism, and utilization of nutrients, as well as the ways dietary patterns contribute to disease prevention, chronic disease management, and overall well‑being. Clinicians and public health professionals in this field assess nutritional status, identify deficiencies or excesses, and develop evidence‑based interventions that promote balanced eating, metabolic health, and sustainable lifestyle habits. Nutrition emphasizes the interplay between biological needs, cultural practices, social determinants of health, and environmental factors, supporting individualized and population‑level strategies that foster long‑term wellness.
