It’s no secret that nutrition is important for overall health, but good nutrition is also healthy for the entire economic picture. This infographic makes the case for why nutrition can be a cost-effective driver of successful patient outcomes, business and health-policies. It emphasizes the interest to actively engage in the translation of nutrition-related health effects for ensuring efficient public health strategies. Through this infographic, INPHORM aims to encourage public-private partnerships for quantifying the value of nutrition as the common thread that runs through healthcare, business and society, connecting individual wellness and collective wealth.
