Leitfaden der Ernährungsmedizin

The topic of nutrition is gaining increasing importance in medical practice due to the rising number of diseases and the associated costs. Patients ask questions, and doctors must provide answers. This book is designed for the practice of medical nutritional counseling. Scientists and clinicians compile clear and concrete action guidelines, answer questions succinctly, and avoid theoretical backgrounds. The book addresses various nutrition-related diseases page by page, outlines the most important dietary recommendations, and explains the functions of vitamins and minerals. Methodological questions of nutritional counseling are discussed, as well as (almost) all diets that patients often inquire about. This volume is the first publication in a new series of scientific writings.
