What is the definition of nutrition? Nutrition is the sum total of the processes involved in the taking in and the utilization of food substances by which growth, repair and maintenance of the body are accomplished. It involves ingestion, digestion, absorption and assimilation.
What is Nutrition Science? Nutritional science focuses largely on dietary concerns and health issues surrounding food, eating, and medicine. This is a multi-faceted field that is rooted in chemistry, biology, and the social sciences. With a nutrition science degree, you can conduct nutrition-related research studies, create community and public health programs, or work in medicine or the food industry.
