What Is Advanced Nutrition?

Advanced nutrition is the scientific study of how food and nutrients are absorbed, digested, and metabolized in the body. It explores the essential roles that macronutrients (such as fats, proteins, and carbohydrates), vitamins, minerals, and water play in sustaining life, maintaining health, and supporting growth and development. By understanding the complex processes involved in human metabolism, advanced nutrition helps to identify proper dietary intake, prevent nutrient deficiencies, and guide recommendations for a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
