Nutritional Management of Obesity

There is need for continued emphasis on the role of Nutrition in the Prevention and Management of Obesity, Diabetes, and Hypertension and other related lifestyle diseases globally. The commitment to encourage a healthy approach to eating has brought the recognition that, while a preventive approach to health care is key to maintaining health, proper management of diseases is an important aspect of the health care continuum. This book seeks to empower health -care practitioners managing patients presenting with Obesity, Diabetes and Hypertension .Community and individual support is also covered through the self-management in-depth strategies well documented. It is my hope and prayer that this information will be useful in reducing the current disability, Burden of Disease, Medical Costs and Death related to and associated with Obesity, Diabetes and Hypertension.
