Balanced healthy nutrition serves as an important factor in human and animal diets and affects their well-being. Research has found that including essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, probiotics, and other vital nutrients into food can have a positive impact on overall health of all living organisms. People are now striving for their diets and diets of their house pets and farm animals to become more natural and organic. On the negative side, chemical additives in foods and industrial pollution, as well as regular use of pesticides and insecticides, affect the global environment to the degree that no longer can be ignored. What is the correlation of well-balanced nutrition and healthy environment, and human and animal wellness? What is the role of healthy foods and natural remedies, including herbals, in preventing and treating human and animal diseases, as well as reducing environmental toxins? How can the negative effects of environmental factors be controlled and minimized on national and international levels?
