Vegan durchstarten – ein Arzt klärt auf

Plant-based diets are becoming increasingly popular. This means that even in medical practice, one in ten people have at least considered veganism or practise a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle.

This compendium on a plant-based diet serves as a structured guide for counselling vegans and vegetarians in a medical setting. It provides evidence-based information on the benefits of a plant-based diet. In addition to a list of meaningful laboratory parameters for estimating the supply of potentially critical nutrients, selected nutrition-associated diseases are also highlighted.

A varied, wholesome plant-based diet has great potential, which has so far been underutilised, both in the prevention and treatment of some chronic diseases, such as obesity, high blood pressure and type II diabetes mellitus.

This practical book is aimed at doctors, members of other health professions and interested readers who would like to deepen their knowledge of vegan nutrition.
