Research in nutrition studies the relationship between food and drink to health and disease, especially in determining the optimal diet.
In the past, only limited research on nutrition in disease prevention of malnutrition and determining the standard basic needs of nutrition in living things. Figures nutritional needs (nutrients) the basis is known internationally in terms of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA).
Along with scientific developments in the field of medical and molecular biology, medical evidence suggests that the RDA has not been sufficient to maintain optimal body function and help prevent or chronic disease management.
The medical evidence showed that the root of many chronic diseases is oxidative stress caused by excess free radicals in the body. The use of nutrients in optimal levels, known as the Optimal Daily Allowance (ODA), is proven to prevent and deal with oxidative stress to help prevent chronic disease. This optimum level can be achieved when the amount and composition of nutrients that are used appropriately.
In handling the disease, the use of nutrition as a complementary treatment can help the effectiveness of treatment and at the same time overcome the side effects of treatment. Therefore, nutrition / nutrition is closely associated with optimal health and improved quality of life. The results of measurement can be performed by the method of anthropometry.
