I'm all for more nutrition education for med students and ongoing for physicians, as the article below encourages. But why not take advantage of treatment we already have and do well? Medical Nutrition Therapy, supplied by THE trained and expert medical professional: the Registered Dietitian. They have the knowledge. The experience. And they know how to help people learn and apply the skills needed to use nutrition—any ZIP code, health status, education status, health literacy, or cultural beliefs—as a powerful way to prevent and manage many chronic conditions, such as diabetes. https://lnkd.in/gWgAHRKj

Nurses promote healthy nutrition to prevent disease, assist patients to recover from illness and surgery, and teach patients how to optimally manage chronic illness with healthy food choices. Healthy nutrition helps to prevent obesity and chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. By proactively encouraging healthy eating habits, nurses provide the tools for patients to maintain their health, knowing it is easier to stay healthy than to become healthy after disease sets in. When patients are recovering from illness or surgery, nurses use strategies to promote good nutrition even when a patient has a poor appetite or nausea. If a patient develops chronic disease, the nurse provides education about prescribed diets that can help manage the disease, such as a low carbohydrate diet for patients with diabetes or a low fat, low salt, low cholesterol diet for patients with cardiovascular disease.
