Nutrition and Exercise in the Health Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, it has been found that the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases cannot be addressed exclusively with drug treatment, health care, and hospitalization. There is evidence that both physical exercise and nutrition are primary elements in reducing the risk of developing numerous diseases. The evidence of the usefulness of physical exercise as a primary element in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease means that, in recent years, exercise has moved from exclusively being seen as a competitive sporting activity to being used for the prevention and treatment of some chronic diseases. It is also known that some nutrients reduce the risk of numerous diseases. There is, therefore, a link between the health benefits of exercise and proper nutrition that incorporates specific nutrients. Thus, achieving a good state of health necessitates the use of optimal nutrition and the practice of healthy physical exercise, which, individually or jointly, are promising tools to achieve the improvement of specific pathologies. However, further research is required to elucidate the essential components of exercise and nutrition protocols in the prevention of chronic diseases and/or the promotion of optimal health. For this Special Issue, we aim to integrate new lines of research related to nutrition and exercise and establish the impacts of these factors on human health and performance.
