Authored by renowned cardiologist Dr. James M.

It delves into specialized areas, such as nutrition for physically active people to the elderly, ensuring relevance for diverse patient populations. The reader will find detailed analysis of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025 and their applications and strategies for adopting healthy plant-based diets, such as Mediterranean, DASH, and vegan.Each chapter begins with key points and concludes with clinical applications, making it valuable to clinicians. As part of the esteemed Lifestyle Medicine Series, this is an indispensable resource for any healthcare provider committed to enhancing patient care through informed dietary practices.
