Welcome

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

"Scientific research is essential, especially in nutrition". With these words, Paolo Sorbini underlined the importance to get up-to-date and to widen our knowledge of topics and problems in order to find out the most modern ways to keep in good health and to achieve physical well-being.

The first edition of the Congress "Science in Nutrition" which took place in 2008 scheduled lectures of the most important specialists in nutrition from all over the world and offered all participants the opportunity to enrich and improve their knowledge. All topics were of great scientific importance and included the guidelines for the correction of metabolic defects through a proper diet program and without a pharmacological intervention.

The second Congress will be held in Rome on the 5th and 6th March 2010 and will provide topics of great interest as well. The first session will cover the solutions to limit the disorders caused by stress. Two more scientific sessions will follow and present scientific works on nutritional modulation of blood glucose, insulin and satiety and modulation of energy metabolism thanks to a correct diet.

The scientific program of this important event for physicians, specialists in nutrition and pharmacists will be submitted to the Ministry of Health for CME accreditation. The main purpose of the Congress is to share and improve the knowledge and awareness of the importance of a correct diet and the practice of physical exercise to promote health and to avoid the diseases linked to incorrect lifestyle.
