Nutrition is the science of how organisms obtain, process, and utilize nutrients to sustain life, support growth, and maintain health. It explores the roles of macronutrients (like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), micronutrients (such as vitamins and minerals), and other dietary components in bodily functions and disease prevention. Researchers in this field study how diet influences metabolism, immunity, development, and chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Nutrition science also informs public health policies and personalized dietary guidelines. This page features the latest findings on how food and nutrients impact health and well-being.
