Increasing Our Knowledge of Healthy Eating
The 7th annual Nutrition issue brings perspective on today’s research discoveries.
By IDEA Authors
Jan 31, 2003
The quantity of media reports on nutrition and weight management seems only to increase every year. Research in nutrition, as in most sciences, is leaping at such a rate that while the body of knowledge is expanding, the interrelations being uncovered are not always fully understood.
Nutrient interactions that have been identified are reported in the following articles. As an educated IDEA member, you know that research should not lead to a radical shift in diet. Use this knowledge to enhance—not replace—your already healthy diet. The American Dietetic Association’s recommendation to eat from a variety of foods and to exercise regularly is a simple guideline for translating knowledge into our everyday eating plans.
