CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN NUTRITION AND LIFESTYLES: AN EVIDENCEBASED Q&A

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Health care practitioners tend to focus on the impact of medical interventions to treat diseases and improve health. However, nutrition and lifestyle factors also impact the health of individuals and populations. These non-medical health interventions are being investigated more frequently in the medical literature. As health care practitioners, we should be familiar with current information related to nutrition and lifestyle factors as our patients often inquire as to their impact on health and wellness.
