Medical nutrition holds pride of place in lifestyle medicine because unhealthy eating is the most important cause of non-infectious chronic illnesses. If the treatment of these illnesses is coupled with a healthy diet appropriate to each illness, that is the most effective way to get an improvement<\/p>\n

Medical nutrition is an integral part of medical treatment in almost all areas of medicine, for all ages and during all of life’s processes.<\/p>\n

Medical nutrition is present in both western evidence-based medicine and in alternaive medicine. It is one of the main branches of naturopathy as practised since antiquity.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, medical nutrition is not taught to medical students on their basic training or to doctors on the courses they take when they are specializing. This leads to doctors not having a scientific and evidence-based knowledge of diet, just a knowledge acquired in the same way as any lay person, from culture, social interaction, hearsay and personal tastes.<\/p>\n

Modern western medicine is good at:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Public health (hygiene, sewage management, food quality controls)<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Vaccines against certain diseases
    <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Fighting infectious disease with antibiotics
    <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Treating all sorts of emergencies, especially accidents and traumas
    <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, what are chronic diseases?<\/h4>\n

    Chronic non-infectious illnesses are difficult to treat with western medicine. They include:<\/p>\n

    cardio-vascular diseases like acute myocardial infarction, angina, stroke….<\/p>\n

    diabetes<\/p>\n

    rheumatic diseases<\/p>\n

    auto-immune diseases<\/p>\n

    certain cancers<\/p>\n

    certain skin diseases<\/p>\n

    most gastro-intestinal diseases<\/p>\n

    In general, specialists agree that 80% of non-infectious chronic diseases can at minimum be prevented, and in the majority of instances can also be treated and reversed, through a healthy lifestyle, especially through medical nutrition in combination with a treatment, and a healthy diet relevant to the disease in question.<\/p>\n

    Illnesses are called “chronic” because they are apparently incurable.<\/p>\n

    Why?<\/h4>\n

    The problem is one of “too much” and not of “too little”, and so medicines and food supplements do not on the whole work.<\/p>\n

    This is where lifestyle medicine comes in, because it treats the causes of these illnesses.<\/p>\n

    However, a change of lifestyle requires a long term change<\/strong> in order to be effective.<\/p>\n

    It is difficult !<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. To be different requires effort: time, money and motivation<\/li>\n
    2. Discipline and persistence<\/li>\n
    3. Going against cultural and social norms<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
