Therapeutic Nutrition

Research has clearly shown that good nutrition plays an important role in maintaining health and recovering from illnesses and accidents. In the long term, nutrition helps in the treatment of many chronic diseases. Research in nutrition has shifted towards studying the biological nature of many diseases, leading to the identification of the multiple causes of numerous medical problems, which remain a topic of interest. In many diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, and gastrointestinal diseases in general, nutrition plays a major role alongside non-dietary factors as a cause of the disease. Consequently, nutrition has become an important factor in the prevention of these diseases. This book covers all diseases and nutritional problems where nutrition plays a primary role, whether as a cause of the disease, in its treatment, or in the prevention of these diseases. The book addresses these diseases across 19 chapters, each including causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment methods, with a special focus on nutritional therapy as well as the use of dietary measures in the prevention of these diseases. The book also contains all the methods, techniques, and nutritional means that can be used to support the optimal efforts of medical practitioners and nutrition specialists in overcoming and confronting many diseases at all stages.
