A nutritionist is a key person who advises on matters of food and nutrition and their impacts on human health. Nutrition is a very essential part of science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion. For humans, a healthy diet includes preparation of food and storage methods that preserve nutrients from oxidation, heat or leaching, and that reduce risk of foodborne illness. An unhealthy diet can cause deficiency-related diseases such as blindness, anaemia, scurvy, preterm birth, stillbirth and cretinism, nutrient excess health-threatening conditions such as obesity and metabolic syndrome and such common chronic systemic diseases as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. Undernutrition can lead to wasting in acute cases and the stunting of marasmus in chronic cases of malnutrition.
Timely measures and awareness in terms of nutrition, food and diet advances the understanding of nutrients and health protectants in food for improving the human condition.

The new pandemic COVID-19, caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has already affected millions of people from the majority of world countries, with a mortality rate of 3.1%. We know that the virus does not similarly affect all population groups and the severe or very severe forms of the disease are well-identified among the risk groups. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or cardiovascular disease are known as risk factors for severe illness for COVID-19 at any age. [...] READ MORE
Stress can be described as ‘any provocation to homeostasis’ or the body’s internal balance feeling. It can reveal itself either as eustress or as distress. Eustress is interpreted as ‘good stress.’ It is a simple form of stress that motivates a person to maintain performance, but it influences physical or psychological when being chronic issues. Stresses are issues due to the external environment, psychological or social situations or internal illness, or medical procedures [...] READ MORE
Domestication of the giant African land snail, Archachatina marginata, requires diets of a good quality to balance the nutrient requirement. Therefore, this study examined the effect of leaves of forest tree, Gliricidia sepium as a diet (GSLM) on the growth, performance and proximate composition of meat of A. marginata. Ninety (90) giant African land snails, Archachatina marginata, were randomly allotted into five (5) experimental treatments. [...] READ MORE
This paper provides effective guidelines to control postprandial plasma glucose for type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Most food nutrition literatures use terminologies for measurements such as serving size, grams, calories that can be difficult for T2D patients to understand and let alone to be used as a guide.

Investigating the relationship between meals and postprandial plasma glucose by using glucose responses due to solid food. The author used a continuous glucose monitor device to collect data by focusing on different food inputs for 647 days. [...] READ MORE
Introduction
This research note describes how the author applies his personal medical knowledge regarding food nutrition and chronic diseases control to fight against COVID-19 during his self-quarantine period from 1/19/2020 through 5/14/20. [...] READ MORE
Agro-industrial bye-products (AIBPs) such as cowpea husk (CH) has been considered by researchers to be an alternative feedstuff for livestock animals especially the ruminants and pseudo-ruminants animals. [...] READ MORE
In the 21st century, 2 highly pathogenic Human corona viruses (HCoVs) -severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome corona virus (MERS-CoV)-emerged from animal reservoirs to cause global epidemics with alarming morbidity and mortality.

Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus has a major public health impact. Current antiviral therapy in chronic hepatitis B keeps the infection under control, but does not cure the disease; therefore, different areas of research aiming to reduce the risk of progressive disease are open. Despite numerous experimental data showing a benefit from vitamin D supplementation, clinical studies do not consistently support this finding. [...] READ MORE
Natural products (e.g. Garlic bulb and Ginger rhizome) has been used in food production and in traditional medicine. The objective of the study was to run the GC-MS and phytochemical screening tests for Garlic (Allium sativum) bulbs and Ginger ((Zingiber officinale)) rhizome. The samples of the Garlic and Ginger were purchased from the local market, Wad Medani City, Gezira State, Sudan. [...] READ MORE
