Essentials of Clinical Nutrition in Healthcare

This book provides the essential facts in nutrition that every medical student and trainee needs to know before entering the wards, clinics, or practice. Many currently practicing providers will also find this book greatly informative, as historically few medical schools have been providing sufficient material and clinically applicable knowledge related to nutrition. Nutrition and lifestyle play such a critical role in the pathophysiology of many acute and chronic conditions that physicians treat each day. For example, diabetes and heart disease are greatly impacted by a person's eating patterns and other health behaviors, while susceptibility to infections, cancer, a wide variety of gastrointestinal diseases and many others are impacted by diet and nutritional status. What food is healthy and why are questions patients routinely ask physicians, and physicians are expected to know the answer. This book prepares medical students, trainees, and life-long learners to answer these questions.
