18th World Congress on Nutrition and Food Chemistry September 25-26, 2019 Copenhagen, Denmark

We have faith in that healthy eating is taking a positive approach to food while eating a variety of foods from each of the My Plate food clusters. This means that we distillate on the nutrients and healthfulness that foods transport without following the latest fads. Our recommendations stem from science – research that has been showed over decades to show us the most valuable way to build a diet.

Industrial biotechnology is one of the most hopeful new approaches to pollution prevention, resource conservation, and cost reduction. Recently many advances in food industry characterize great role of food biotechnology. GM plants and animals are accustomed enhance taste, shell life, nutrition and quality of food. On the other needle GM yeast and Bacteria are used to produce enzymes for the sake of food industry. These GM foods are formed by using biotechnological techniques specifically genetic engineering. These techniques can be used to remove hunger from poor people of third world specially Africa. Besides positive aspects, there are some concerns.

Food science draws from many corrections such as and biology, chemical engineering, and biochemistry in an attempt to better understand food processes and eventually improve food products for the overall public. As the factors of the field, food scientists study the physical, microbiological, and chemical makeup of food. By applying their findings, they are responsible for developing the safe, nutritious foods and inventive packaging that line supermarket shelves everywhere. The food you devour on a daily basis is the result of extensive food research, a systematic investigation into a variety of foods’ properties and compositions. After the early stages of research and development comes the mass production of food products using principles of food technology. All of these consistent fields donate to the food industry – the largest manufacturing industry in the United States.

Nutrition is the process of providing the body with the raw materials it wants to function and grow. There are three macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids) that compulsory by humans that function as the major fuel for physiological processes.\Nutritional biochemistry is an integrative procedure of science. It deals with the knowledge of nutrients and other food constituents with stress on their function and influence on mammalian physiology, health, and behavior. The main goal of research in nutritional biochemistry is the scientific start of optimal dietary intakes for each nutrient and food ingredients throughout the life cycle.

The fields of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics are focused on the relationship between human genes and nutrition. Nutrigenetics is defined as the “science of the effect of genetic variation on dietary response”. Nutrigenomics.

Nutrigenetics objective is to recognize in what way genetic difference affects response to nutrients. This evidence can be pragmatic to boost health, and inhibit diseases. The final aim of nutrigenetics is to offer people modified nutrition based on their genetic character. Nutrigenomics includes studies about the effects of food constituents on gene expression. This means that nutrigenomics is research focusing on finding and understanding the molecular-level interaction between nutrients and other dietary bioactives with the genome.

Maintaining a healthy body weight is a matter of balancing the energy we put into our bodies (calories from food) with the energy that we use up (or burn) during our daily activities or exercise. If we don’t use up all the energy we consume, the excess will be stored as body fat, and over time our body weight will increase.

Balancing your food intake means enjoying a wide variety of nutritious foods to ensure all your nutritional needs are met. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, legumes and cereal foods, and include lean meat, fish, poultry, milk, yogurt

 Dairy foods are well known for their role in bone health, they are often not the first food that comes to mind when thinking about losing weight. In fact, dairy foods can often be cut out in the mistaken belief that they are fattening. However, scientific evidence shows that eating 3 serves of dairy every day will not only help your bones but may also help you manage your weight.

 Research shows that a healthy vegetarian eating plan, or one made up of foods that come mostly from plants, may be linked to lower levels of obesity, lower blood pressure, and a reduced risk of heart disease. But going vegetarian will only lead to weight loss if you reduce the total number of calories you take in. Some vegetarians may make food choices that could lead to weight gain, such as eating a lot of food high in sugar, fats, and calories.

Everyone needs a goal and positive reasons to achieve that goal. Even losing a few pounds can provide you with cardiovascular benefits. Obesity is defined simply as too much body fat. Your body is made up of water, fat, protein, carbohydrate and various vitamins and minerals. Obesity increases the risk for heart disease and stroke. But it harms more than just the heart and blood vessel system. It's also a major cause of gallstones, osteoarthritis and respiratory problems.

Being obese can:

 1.raise blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
 2.lower your “good” HDL cholesterol level.
3.increase blood pressure.
 4.induce diabetes.

 In some people, diabetes makes other risk factors much worse. The danger of heart attack is especially high for these people .Obesity increases the risk for heart disease and stroke. But it harms more than just the heart and blood vessel system. It's also a major cause of gallstones, osteoarthritis and respiratory problems. Obesity is intimately intertwined with multiple health conditions that underlie cardiovascular disease including high blood pressure, diabetes, and abnormal blood cholesterol. In addition, weight gain is a frequent consequence of heart-damaging lifestyle choices such as lack of exercise and a fat-laden diet.

\r\n excess fat tissue can directly damage the heart muscle even before symptoms are evident reinforces the case for weight control as a key step in preserving heart health.

Right nutrition in early days of life is very important. Nutritional requirements are different for kids and adults in the family. They are in their growing age, they need balanced nutrition but not only high calorie foods. Due to lack of nutrition especially during critical periods of growth, results in improper development or illness, such as anemia from deficiency of iron or scurvy from deficiency of vitamin C. Nutrition plays a major role in childhood development, for good or ill. Proper nutrition helps for proper growth and development of children and enabling them to reach their full potential.

Maternal deficiencies of some micronutrients can affect the quality of breastmilk.These deficiencies can be avoided if the mother improves her diet before, during, and between cycles of pregnancy and lactation, or takes supplements.

The right number of calories to eat each day is based on age and physical activity level and whether trying to gain, lose or maintain your weight. Fat oxidation and metabolism are not dependent on the fat content of the meal; fatty meals lead to fat accumulation and obesity. Obesity is one of the components of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors that increases an individual’s risk for chronic diseases and diabetes. This session deals with the epidemiology of obesity by age, race, and geographic location and includes data on the direct costs associated with obesity.

Diet is a recognized etiological factor. Cancer is a complex process in which molecular, biological, nutritional and chemical irritations have a role. The interplay among diet, environment and genetic predisposition is important in most diseases. Dietary ingredients may induce or inhibit these carcinogens. Dietary factors have an important but complex role, which includes excessive energy intake, and possibly a high consumption of saturated fat and protein and a low consumption of dietary fiber and micronutrients. It has been shown that caloric (i.e. energy) restriction will inhibit the growth of spontaneous or experimentally induced tumours.
