Question: Why is there so little talk about nutrition in medicine especially preventative measures for certain diseases. It almost seems like the whole focus of medicine is treatment and or management rather than prevention.
@lilicasablanca1056 there's actually a lot of talk about preventative medicine, but not many people are receptive in my experience! I always ask my patients to try to eat healthier, exercise a few times a week (especially those with already existing conditions like hypertension and diabetes) but it's sometimes very difficult to get them to adjust their lifestyle
Very interesting video
