Nutrition is the discipline concerned with the quality and balance of food, particularly for children and adolescents. Better nutrition is associated with better infant, maternal and child health, a stronger immune system, safer pregnancy and childbirth, lower risk of non-communicable diseases (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease) and longevity.
