Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the value of a correct diet and the importance of certain foods rich in nutrients. A healthy diet must provide all the nutrients that our body needs in an adequate quantity and proportion. Therefore, it is essential to follow a varied and balanced diet.
Nutrient-rich foods contain, in addition to macronutrients, many vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds, and are low in calories, sugar, sodium, starches, and unhealthy fats. Some examples can be fruits and vegetables, nuts or olive oil among others. Therefore, they must be a fundamental part of a healthy diet.
The open access magazine Foods (ISSN 2304-8158) invites you to join us in a special issue on the topic "Nutrient-rich foods for a healthy diet" in order to analyse how the consumption of nutrient-rich foods, their food composition, the properties of nutrients or their bioactive compounds contribute to health and well-being. Revisions are also allowed. You have been invited based on their strong record of publications in this area and we hope to collaborate with an article related to this topic.
