Dietary Science

Dietary science is the study of how the foods we eat affect our health and well-being. It explores the nutrients in food—such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals—and how they help our bodies function, grow, and repair. This field also examines the impact of different dietary patterns, influences on chronic diseases, and practical guidelines for healthy eating. By understanding these relationships, dietary science aims to develop evidence-based recommendations to improve nutrition, prevent illness, and promote overall health for individuals and populations.
