Nutritional Sciences

Nutritional Sciences is the study of how food affects our health and well-being. It explores the nutrients in food—such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals—and how they support bodily functions, growth, and disease prevention. This field also examines dietary patterns and their impact on health outcomes. By understanding these relationships, researchers aim to develop guidelines for healthy eating, create effective public health policies, and help individuals make informed food choices that enhance their quality of life. Essentially, it bridges the gap between food, health, and science.
