Nutrition (also called nourishment or aliment) is the provision, to cells and organisms, of the materials necessary (in the form of food) to support life. Many common health problems can be prevented or alleviated with a healthy diet.

The diet of an organism is what it eats, and is largely determined by the perceived palatability of foods. Dietitians are health professionals who specialize in human nutrition, meal planning, economics, and preparation. They are trained to provide safe, evidence-based dietary advice and management to individuals (in health and disease), as well as to institutions.

A poor diet can have an injurious impact on health, causing deficiency diseases such as scurvy, beriberi, and kwashiorkor; health-threatening conditions like obesity and metabolic syndrome, and such common chronic systemic diseases as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.

How do you create a nutrition facts label?
Q. A nutrition facts label is required on most pre-packaged food in North America. How would someone go about creating one for one of their products?
Asked by kuyariel - Sun Aug 19 01:57:38 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This is actually a great question, I've been through this and I can tell you this; if you will produce more than 10,000 units or will have I believe 10 or more employees then you need a nutrition label and it needs to be displayed in certain areas. You can find an independent food lab in the yellow pages under laboratory. Now things may of changed so I would suggest going to the FDA website (www.fda.gov) just type in business in the search bar and you'll find tons of info regarding policies. I would suggest if you are serious, finding out if a college near you deals with the culinary arts and if they have any cross classes in business that may help people out for class projects etc.

How many nutrition classes do you take when you're becoming a doctor?
Q. I was told that in four years of medical school, the average doctor only takes one class on nutrition. Is that about accurate?
Asked by HappyThoughts - Tue May 19 23:23:30 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Be careful with stuff like that where you hear those things. Medical schools have slightly different ways of presenting the body of information that a physician needs to master, i.e. different ways of teaching. Often matters about nutrition may be introduced in a course that's not called by that name, but so long as that information is supplied, that's the key. Medical curricula are always looking for shortcomings, and most MD schools do a fine job at filling in any holes (real or perceived) in their respective curricula. Nutrition, is, indeed on of the areas thats getting more and more highly integrated into curricula at most schools. Many medical schools don't have traditional courses like in undergrad, but use a different model… [cont.]

Is there any relation between nutrition and head growth?
Q. I really need to know. Do people with bad nutrition and diet tend to have bigger head?How does nutrition effect head growth? Thanks.
Asked by Astu - Sat Sep 12 02:27:51 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Um...no. The size of your head/skull is determined from birth. Your skull will never get bigger than it's supposed to be (ie, once you stop growing). Therefore, it stands to reason that poor nutrition will not make your head bigger. In fact, poor diet can have the opposite effect, since your bones will not be getting the nutrients they need to continue growing. If you have a serious nutrition deficiency, it's possible that your skull will not grow to it's maximum size.
