Global Nutrition Trends and Health Outcomes
Global Nutrition Trends and Health Outcomes is organized by American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) and will be held from Jul 01, 2022 - Jul 01, 2025.
Description:
Food is no longer just a personal choice. It is a controversial discussion topic that involves the healthcare sector at its core. Poor diet remains the leading cause of disease and death around the world. Food, along the continuum of its production, marketing, and consumption impacts global health, global economies, and the global environment. Healthcare providers must know about food trends and research in order to be an active part of the disease solution. This panel will explain current food trends in a global setting and introduce tangible ways for physicians to become public advocates, patient counselors, and personal champions for diet quality.
Learning Objectives:
• Review the changes occurring in food systems and global policies
• Discuss actionable roles that the health sector can play
• Recognize the need to develop a reference diet for health and environmental sustainability
• Summarize trends in dietary quality and associated health outcomes around the world
• Analyze global trends in meat intake, cultural transitions, the 'regenerative agriculture' argument, and 'plant-based meats' and their role
