Nutrition is a science that studies the relationship between diet, states of health and disease.

Between the extremes of optimal health and death from starvation or malnutrition, there is and array of disease states that can be caused or alleviated by changes in diet. Deficiencies, excesses and imbalances in diet can produce negative impacts on health, which may lead to diseases such as scurvy, obesity or osteoporosis, as well as psychological and behavioural problems. Moreover, exercises ingestion of elements that have no apparent role in health, (eg. lead, mercury PCB’s, dioxins) may incur toxic and potentially lethal effects, depending on the dose.

The science on nutrition attempts to understand how and why specific dietary aspects influence health.

Ill health can be caused by imbalance of nutrients, producing either an excess or deficiency, which in turn affect body functioning cumulatively. Moreover, because most nutrients are, in some way or another, involved in cell-to-cell signalling, deficiency or excess of various nutrients affects hormonal function indirectly.

Lifestyle- and obesity-related diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent all around the world. In any known profit-driven economy, health considerations are hardly a priority: effective production of cheap foods with a long shelf life is more the trend. In general, whole, fresh foods have a relatively, short shelf life and are less profitable to produce and sell than most processed foods. Thus, the consumption of nutritionally inferior foods has been increasing throughout the world along with many nutrition-related complications.
