Description
Does poor diet contribute to the burden of chronic disease and premature death? The Global Burden of Disease Study demonstrated that poor diet is an equal opportunity killer linked to 11 million deaths worldwide. Poor diets and many of the health consequences that follow are modifiable.

We will examine trends in health and popular diets, role of key nutrients in the medical management of selected chronic diseases and provide action-oriented strategies to meet nutrient requirements for skin integrity, wound healing and to manage nutrition-related ostomy problems.
