INTRODUCTION

• To live a full life, we need to fill our
  stomachs. We can fill our stomachs by eating
  food. Food is not only a word, it has become an
  emotion for many people.
• If there is food before you, you keep seeing it
  or drooling over it before we start to consume
  it. In the present scenario, people are becoming
  foodies by eating the food they desire.

NUTRITIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

  fields, but they can be connected by a field
  known as nutritional psychology.

  dietary patterns, broad-based multi-nutrient
  supplements or fixed vitamins, minerals, or other
  nutrients plays in the etiology of mental health
  problems.

  interdisciplinary field to develop an envisaged

NEED FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES

• If we have proper nutrition we can be prevented
  from various illnesses as food also provides
  immunity against diseases. In order to have a
  properly working healthy body, proper nutritional
  intake is necessary.
• These health care services give advice regarding
  this and act as a guide for consulting a doctor.
  Depending on the body condition health care
  service providers tell what should be done to be
  healthy.
• In order to get primary consultation for
  not-so-severe diseases, health care services can
  be an option. They can provide the right advice
  and medication for the disease, but if the case
  is worst they will suggest a doctor consultation
  for recovery.
