As a result of recent changes in health care, nurses, GPs and
health visitors find that they are required to take a major role in
nutrition education and dietary advice. Health promotion is now an
important aspect of general practice and community care. Shorter
periods of hospitalisation, increased care of the chronically ill
'in the community' and the management of disorders like diabetes
within general practice have meant that many more people now
require specialised nutritional care. At the same time, rapid
advances in nutrition have left some health professionals feeling
that their dietary knowledge is inadequate. This book updates the
reader on the relationships between diet and health and the use of
diet in the management of disease. Topical but less familiar
nutrients such as antioxidant vitamins or long-chain fatty acids
are explained in ways that are easily understood. Adviceis given on
the types on nutritional problems that can be successfully
identified and managed in the primary-care setting and those that
may require specialised dietetic help.
