Wellbeing & performance
This edition of the Symposium Series booklets captures the in-depth presentations and discussions during our symposium of 2003.
Wellbeing is a complex phenomenon
Wellbeing is a complex phenomenon that requires further scientific exploration, substantiation and quantification. It extends well beyond the absence of disease; it is how people experience, view and approach life. Both physical and mental performance is important for consumers. The challenge is to find scientific evidence to substantiate claims for products with direct effects on wellbeing and performance. Food regulation to control the link between claimed benefits and the supportive scientific evidence is still under development.
