Implementing the Mediterranean
Diet: Nutrition in Practice and Public Health situates this ‘gold
standard’ of diets within the wider food environment by bridging the
gap between the evidence-based health benefits of the Mediterranean
diet and its implementation. The text explores the many approaches that
can be used by health professionals to help consumers adopt this
healthy eating pattern, as well as the barriers encountered with
implementing this diet at home and in the wider environment. It also
considers sustainable food and farming practices, and national food
strategies.
A one-stop resource for
food and health professionals, this seminal text demonstrates the full
range of benefits that the Mediterranean diet can bring to society.
This ground-breaking book:
- Gives
an in-depth review of the effectiveness of the Mediterranean diet in
disease prevention and the management of chronic diseases
- Contextualises
the diet within the food environment, showing why the whole dietary
pattern and minimizing the consumption of highly processed foods are
both so important
- Shows how to implement the Mediterranean diet, motivating and guiding consumers to make the transition
- Addresses
the practical and behavioural barriers to food choice in terms of
taste, cost, variety, convenience and animal welfare concerns
Implementing
the Mediterranean Diet is a must-have resource for advanced
undergraduate and postgraduate students in the food sciences, and for
healthcare professionals such as dietitians, nutritionists, GPs, and
health workers, especially those working in non-Mediterranean,
high-income countries.
