Základy výživy v praxi lékaře (2026)

In everyday practice, doctors increasingly encounter patients whose health is directly or indirectly affected by their lifestyle, particularly their diet. Conditions such as type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity and other metabolic disorders have become a modern-day pandemic. General practitioners therefore have a unique opportunity and responsibility to become a trusted first source of information for their patients. This book does not aim to turn general practitioners into nutritional therapists, but offers them a clear, practical framework for communicating the basic principles of nutrition effectively. The information is arranged so that it can easily be “translated” into language patients understand. The publication briefly and clearly introduces key nutrients, their functions in the body, recommended daily allowances for healthy people, those who are overweight and patients with specific illnesses, as well as their main food sources and supplementation options. It also discusses culinary methods that help preserve nutritional value, not only the optimal combinations of nutrients. The contents are in Czech.
