Nutrition in Lifestyle Medicine

by James M. Rippe

Overview

This newest addition to the Nutrition and Health series focuses on nutrition’s key role in lifestyle interventions to prevent and manage diseases. The book pays particular attention to nutritional considerations related to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Edited by cardiologist, Dr. James Rippe, a well-known expert in the nascent specialty of Lifestyle Medicine, Nutrition in Lifestyle Medicine will also focus on a variety of specialized areas such as nutrition for athletes and physically active individuals, hydration, and nutrition throughout the life cycle (spanning from children to individuals over the age of 60). In addition, chapters will be included on controversies in nutrition, such as health effects of added sugars and saturated fatty acids in the diet. Finally, specialized chapters will be included in such areas as nutrition for women, nutrition for men, nutrition for latinos, the use of supplements, communication about nutrition, public policy issues, and theinterface between nutrition and physical activity.

Lifestyle Medicine, supported by the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Rippe’s textbook Lifestyle Medicine (CRC Press, 2013) and American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), is a new national medicine specialty that stresses the use of lifestyle interventions in the treatment and management of disease. Its practitioners effectively manage medical treatments alongside the lifestyle interventions, for example lowering insulin treatment for patients with diabetes, reducing the dose of anti-hypertension medications for people with hypertension, and prescribing certain medical interventions that aid in smoking cessation.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Amy Hess Fischl, MS RDN LDN BC-ADM CDCES(University of Chicago Medical Center)
Description: This volume in the Nutrition and Health series has the daunting task of covering a very wide array of topics that pertain to nutrition and lifestyle. While prevention of disease is crucial to reduce the explosion of chronic diseases around the world, this is a refreshing addition that will help healthcare professionals in maintaining good health in the people they care for in their practices.
Purpose: The purpose is to highlight the point that what people do in their daily lives matters and if healthcare professionals can begin to incorporate more nutrition information and counseling in their dealings with patients, it could possibly create a healthier society. While this is a daunting task, it is a worthy objective since prevention is more cost effective than managing a progressive condition.
Audience: The audience is healthcare professionals, and many of the chapters, written by dietitians, highlight references and resources for registered dietitian nutritionists.
Features: The book's seven sections cover the following broad topics: an overview of nutrition lifestyle; preventing metabolic diseases; childhood; the athlete; pregnancy; controversies; and policy issues. The controversies section only covers two topics: added sugars and saturated fat. Each chapter focuses on the current evidence and both take a moderate stance, not sensationalizing the topic but presenting the current research as it stands. Many, but not all, of the chapters have tables and resources. The chapter on nutrition genomics has an excellent table of websites on genetics and nutrition.
Assessment: This is a nice first edition and a valuable resource and reference for all healthcare professionals to use in their daily practices.
