Preventive nutrition

Preventive nutrition is a branch of nutrition science with the goal of preventing, delaying, and/or reducing the impacts of disease and disease-related complications.[1][2] It is concerned with a high level of personal well-being, disease prevention, and diagnosis of recurring health problems or symptoms of discomfort which are often precursors to health issues.[3] The overweight and obese population numbers have increased over the last 40 years and numerous chronic diseases are associated with obesity.[4] Preventive nutrition may assist in prolonging the onset of non-communicable diseases and may allow adults to experience more "healthy living years."[5][4] There are various ways of educating the public about preventive nutrition. Information regarding preventive nutrition is often communicated through public health forums, government programs and policies, or nutritional education.[6] For example, in the United States, preventive nutrition is taught to the public through the use of the food pyramid or MyPlate initiatives.[6]
