Leitfaden der Ernährungsmedizin

In view of the increasing number of illnesses and the associated costs, the topic of nutrition is becoming more and more important in medical practice. Patients ask, the doctor must answer. This book is designed for the practice of medical nutrition counseling. Scientists and clinicians compile clear and concrete instructions for action, answer questions briefly and conclusively, and dispense with theoretical background. The book goes through the various nutrition-related diseases page by page, lists the most important dietary recommendations, and explains the function of vitamins and minerals. Methodological issues of nutritional counseling are addressed as well as (almost) all diets that patients often ask for. This volume is the first publication in the framework of a new scientific writing.
