Abstract:
Diet is a major factor in five of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States and is a contributing factor in many other diseases and health conditions. Certain diseases can be prevented and general health can be maintained or improved if patients are willing to follow advice about nutrition. Hence, nutrition-related consideration of fiber, cholesterol, carbohydrates and energy should be integral to the management of health conditions.
