چکیده
Dietary and nutritional therapies encompass preventive and educational approaches to diet and lifestyle changes, in order to promote and optimise physical and mental health. They encompass personalised dietary therapy and nutraceutical prescription, and lifestyle advice within a functional medicine framework. This represents a nutritional paradigm different to that which underpins current dietetic and public health nutrition practice. Scope of practice normally excludes artificial (parenteral/enteral) feeding and dietary management of acute life-threatening states.
