Healthy Nutrition as the Key Reference in Special Diets, Quality of Life, and Sustainability

Eating is about how we relate to food in various contexts, and it is influenced by difficult choices that take into account biological, social, cultural, economic, psychological, and access-to-food-related aspects. As a result, eating decisions go beyond basic physiological and nutritional requirements. They may occasionally be conscious, but they can also be automatic, habitual, or subconscious. In these ways, eating is a complicated amalgam of ingrained habits, social norms, and acquired attitudes and feelings toward food. Despite being a long-standing international human right, not everyone has access to enough food. As a result, this reprint seeks original research studies and reviews on the following topics: special diets; dietary restrictions; dietary patterns; gluten-free diets; sugar restriction; salt restriction; vegan diets; vegetarian diets; quality of life; and sustainability.
