EC Nutrition

Food is an important determining factor for human health. Worldwide, diet is responsible for about 20% of the global burden of disease. Reducing the burden of disease determined by food and nutrition can be solved by changing the eating behavior of the population to a healthier one. Promoting nutritional health and increasing the level of awareness of the importance of a balanced and varied diet for the health of the population represent an imperative of the time and national priority objectives in all countries. In recent decades, healthy nutrition as a priority component of a healthy lifestyle, as well as a means of preventing chronic diseases, has become an important concern for specialists around the world.
