Where this comes from

Abstract

Patients and their families deserve sound nutrition advice from primary care practitioners. By using a systematic, community-based approach, the health care provider can integrate nutrition teaching into routine health care. Practitioners should be positive and enthusiastic, should keep nutrition messages simple and food specific, and should recognize that patient lifestyle behaviors will change incrementally and slowly.
