SAĞLIK VE BESLENME: GÜNCEL KONULAR, TARTIŞMALAR VE ÖNERİLER

PREFACE

Adequate and balanced nutrition is essential for maintaining and promoting health across all stages of life, as well as for preventing chronic diseases. Therefore, having a reliable source that delivers accurate information and offers scientifically evidence-based recommendations in this field is of critical importance.

Many negative health-related problems are observed in those who have inadequate and unbalanced nutrition. Individuals who have inadequate and unbalanced nutrition experience symptoms such as slowing down movements, difficulties in coping with stress, reluctance, bloated abdomen, skin disorders, frequent headaches, loss of appetite, fatigue, etc. that are reflected in their external appearance. On the contrary, those who have quality nutrition have a healthy and lively appearance, smooth skin, lively and shiny hair, an active and strong body, and a body weight proportional to their height. In addition, people who have quality nutrition are generally willing to work and have more positive behaviors in terms of mental, spiritual and social aspects.

Today, factors that negatively affect health such as environmental pollution, lack of physical activity, smoking, alcohol use and stress are accompanied by inadequate and unbalanced nutrition practices. This situation causes many health problems, especially cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and an increase in deaths related to these problems in societies. Scientists emphasize that these risks can be eliminated and that individuals can increase their quality of life by strengthening their immune systems in their studies on nutrition and health. This book includes suggestions and current studies in the field of nutrition and health.

We hope that HEALTH AND NUTRITION: CURRENT ISSUES, DISCUSSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS will be beneficial to all readers and will be beneficial to people in creating nutrition and health awareness.
