Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diet alone cannot, and should not, replace medicine under any circumstances. However, non-communicable diseases are among the many diseases that can be prevented, treated, or even cured by lifestyle and, notably, dietary changes.
Not only is it now evident that many nutrients in food promote health and protect your body from disease, but greater emphasis is being placed on foods than on nutrient recommendations. Researchers have shown that food is the number one cause of poor health on the planet. Non-communicable diseases and metabolic dysfunction are the most serious problem facing health care systems, and there is now unequivocal evidence of the link in particular with obesity, cancer, type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, mental health, and, more recently, gut microbiota.
This Special Issue of Nutrients will highlight the relevance of diet in metabolic dysfunctions, notably the role of nutrients or dietary compounds on molecular mechanisms in non-communicable diseases. Topics may include endocrine disruptors, microbioma, pre- and probiotics/postbiotics, phytochemicals, and omega 3 fatty acids. Manuscripts will range from original research articles and clinical trials to up-to-date reviews.
