Health has always been more difficult to measure than disease and is often regarded as a vague, intangible variable. Renger shows us how there is still too much emphasis on health being viewed and studied from the perspective of disease. He will take us back to the principles of physiology and biology and vividly explains a revolution in the way we could look at the effects of nutrition and physical exercise. Renger Witkamp (1959) is professor in Nutrition and Pharmacology at the Wageningen University in the Netherlands, which has been established in 2006 as a new academic chair.
