Food and Nutrition and New Dietary Trends for Human Health

Dear Colleagues,

Nutrition is one of the key factors influencing human health, starting from birth. Although consumers generally know the basic rules of healthy eating, in practice, few people follow this knowledge when shopping. Meanwhile, new food assortments are being introduced to the market, such as those with reduced sugar or salt, which makes it possible to reduce their consumption. In addition, more and more people are deciding to change their usual diet, seeing it as a way to prevent obesity and other diet-related diseases. While, for example, a properly implemented plant-based diet is considered by scientists to be a health-promoting nutrition model, many other diets popularized in the media by celebrities are controversial. In this Special Issue, we encourage authors to submit articles on food or its components (both with nutritional and physiological effects) and to publish research on new dietary trends and their health effects.
