Nutrition significantly affects the state of our health, but it is also in connection with a number of other factors. In the eighteenth century, nutrition became a scientific field and gradually revealed and described the importance of individual nutrients for the human organism. Human nutritional deficiencies during the Second World War activated new research in a number of countries, creating professional communities that cooperate with each other. In our republic, it is the Society for Nutrition (originally for rational nutrition). In the context of global research, it is necessary to highlight studies on the effects and importance of intestinal microbiota. Early nutrition and metabolic programming become another area of scholarly study from the end of the twentieth century. Due to the increase in deaths from cardiovascular diseases, nutrition research focuses on fat metabolism and the consumption of table salt. Another unfavorable trend related to nutrition is obesity, cancer and other diseases. Based on research into nutrition, nutritional recommendations are gradually supplemented and adjusted.

Keywords: research in nutrition, intestinal microbiota, metabolic programming, diseases of the heart and blood vessels, obesity, cancer, nutritional recommendations
