The Role of Nutrition in Preventive Medicine: The Place of Street Food in International Gastronomy and Health Development

Abstract

Nowadays, due to the pandemic, preventive medicine also plays a prominent role in medical science. In addition to physical activity or techniques used in alternative medicine (acupuncture, forms of massage, yogic exercise etc.), the science of meditation has become the part of preventive medicine thanks to quantum physics, epigenetics, metaphysics, neuroplasticity, and psychoneuroimmunology. Firstly, we examined the role of nutrition science in preventive medicine in the manuscript. Therefore, we present foods that reinforce the street food philosophy while being healthy and promoting health improvement. Furthermore, these foods can be used as part of various diets. The manuscript contributes to the health promoting effect of nutrition science and gastronomy and its role in preventive medicine.
