Abstract:
Given the importance of poor nutrition as a cause for human chronic disease, it is surprising that nutrition receives so little attention during medical school training and in clinical practice. Specific vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids and water in the diet are essential for health, and deficiencies lead or contribute to many diseases. Proper use of the dietary guidelines and nutrition facts labeling can improve nutritional status and lead to the consumption of a healthy diet. COVID-19 has altered access to nutritious foods for millions and increased awareness of the importance of diet and immune function. An improved appreciation for nutrition will improve the outcomes of clinical care.
摘要:
鉴于营养不良作为人类慢性疾病的原因的重要性,令人惊讶的是,在医学院培训和临床实践中,营养很少受到关注。特定的维生素,矿物,脂肪酸,饮食中的氨基酸和水对健康至关重要,和不足导致或促成许多疾病。正确使用饮食指南和营养事实标签可以改善营养状况并导致健康饮食的消费。COVID-19改变了数百万人获得营养食品的途径,并提高了人们对饮食和免疫功能重要性的认识。提高对营养的认识将改善临床护理的结果。
