Nursing Practice in Nutrition Therapy

Description

Consuming and absorbing vitamins, minerals, required amino acids from protein and essential fatty acids from fat-containing foods, as well as dietary energy in the form of carbs, protein, and fat, are all necessary for complete nutrition. Dietary practices and decisions significantly influence the quality of life, health, and lifespan. Diet is the total amount of food a human or other creature consumes. The word "diet" frequently connotes the utilization of a certain nutritional intake for health or weight control purposes. Even though humans are omnivores, each culture and individual has certain eating preferences or food taboos. This could be because of ethical or personal preferences. Dietary choices made by an individual may be more or less healthful. The fundamental role that diet and nutrition play in preventing and treating common health conditions is becoming more and more clear in the form of scientific research. Healthcare practitioners continuously emphasise providing patients with tailored dietary recommendations to enhance patient health outcomes. This book compiles evidence-based recommendations for best practices in illness prevention, management, and treatment. Written for the advanced practice nurse, these dietary methods have been shown to improve health and battle certain illnesses. The author wrote an accessible book with helpful materials using his expertise in nutrition and nursing practice.
