Hi, I'm new here, and I am interested in discussing the impact of nutrition on health, and it is a topic for my research work.

My research work is based on how nutritious food would be beneficial for us and making healthy choices would place an impact on your health as well as for the prevention of diseases.

Could you give me your comments? Your professional help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your kind understanding.

I think there is a general agreement that healthier food choices will lead to better health in most cases. It's such a vast topic, what did you want to discuss specifically?

Welcome to the board by the way.

Basically, my research is based on how the impact of nutrition would be beneficial on health.

Such as the partaking of healthy food contributes the health, prevention of diseases, and how nutrients such as vitamins and minerals in food contribute to strengthening our immune system, as well as the required and recommended intakes of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

So, can you explain on how various and certain kinds of food promotes our health in what way?(E.g. like carrot with beta carotene would provide benefits for our eyes) and expound on it? And the various popular trends which people choose in making nutritive choices in food? Thanks

your broad question sounds like my university courses! i would suggest you visit your local health science university library and borrow their textbooks. it's immposible to go thru all foods and diseases in a simple forum like these while it takes 4 full-time years of university to learn

healthcastle has a simple vitamin and mineral guide http://www.healthcastle.com/guide_vitamins.shtml if that's what you are looking for.

hope that helps

My thoughts exactly. I think there are just too many food items that can benefit health in some way or another. From western medicine to eastern healing practices, there are just too many foods that could be considered functional. Sounds like a big term paper or even graduate research work? If so, annie is right. Your local health science library would be your best bet. And you can also try and check with the university's dietetics department.
