What should we eat to stay healthy and avoid diseases? Nutrition is one of the biggest drivers of chronic diseases, yet the answer to this apparently simple question remains a subject of debate. In this session, modern nutrition science will take central stage, going beyond the discovery of essential micronutrients and their role in deficiency diseases. This session will cover the fundamental aspects of foods and diet patterns, the microbiome, and dietary fibers, and their role on non-communicable disease.
