Health Psychology...

Health Psychology is the study of psychological and behavioral processes in health, illness, and healthcare.  It is concerned with understanding how psychological, behavioral, and cultural factors contribute to physical health and illness.  Psychological factors can affect health directly.

Nutrition psychology (NP) is the psychological study of how cognitive choices, such as meal decisions, influence nutrition, psychological health, and overall health.  Nutrition psychology seeks to understand the relationship between nutritional behavior and mental health/well-being.

Nutritional Psychology is an emerging field of work that is a specialization in the field of Health Psychology.  Increased interest in the prevention of illness and the role that diet plays in the development of illness have fueled the growth of nutritional psychology as well.

There are two main areas of controversy within Nutrition Psychology. 

(1) The first area of controversy is that the topic can be viewed as nutrition affecting    

    psychological choices and behavior influencing nutrition and health. 

(2) The second controversy being the defining of what is "healthy" or "normal" as related to

    nutrition.

Today, over one third of American adults are considered "obese" and Nutrition Psychology aims to explain what psychological reasons may be behind this and other health trends.  Nutrition Psychology looks at the internal psychological effects of why people do what they do, and how they are shaped and influenced by outside stimuli.
