Nutritional Medicine “To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.” (La Rochefoucauld, http://www.naturalhealers.com/qa/nutrition-history.html) Nutritional medicine is the study of food as medicine. It encompasses and collaborates with findings and discoveries in modern science and human biology to understand the impact good food and nutrition can have on the body in both a preventative and recuperative sense. Again, Hippocrates was the original founder of the power of food and it’s medicinal qualities for health and wellness. A British Navy physician, Dr. James Lind experimented with different food groups and their effect on disease manifestation. Many developments over the last 200 years have led to underline the fact that certain foods (and food chemistry) were linked to good health.

A large source of growth results from increased per capita consumption. Consumers are buying more snack chips per person, an increase of 2 pounds over four years.
They fail to control their appetites and impulses, but in fact it is not about lack of self-control or willpower. And she is right, because society has morphed into having this standard of how people are supposed to look, yet society does not provide themselves with the solution. What is the solution? Our right to healthy food needs to be returned to us, and we need to demand a higher standard of healthy eating and options for our healthy lifestyles. That is the American people’s responsibility.

Thus, it is very likely that competitiveness in healthy food markets in P is tremendous sharp, while Natural’s Way has no advantages to outweigh its opponents to fire for a success battle.

Unlike medications, supplement Dietary Supplements 3 makers do not have to prove their products are safe or effective. The FDA, however, can force a supplement from the market if it proves it is unsafe (nutrition.about.com, n.d.). Dietary supplements can be good for the body if there are substances lacking in the body. If a person has diseases, supplements can help control them. It is best to consult a doctor before taking supplements because they can interact with medications, causing bad reactions.
While the government works to form regulations to aid the vulnerable population, many people feel that this is an infringement upon their basic rights. Beneficence is the act of doing well for the sake of others; the state is doing exactly that because they are protecting populations from harming themselves and others as it pertains to obesity. The Stewardship Model is a model that allows people to maintain their autonomy while still aiding in efforts to decrease obesity. The Stewardship Model states that public health programs should “attempt to reduce risks for obesity that populations might impose on each other and reduce cause for obesity through legislation or regulation that creates environmental conditions that sustain good health (e.g. access to healthy food and opportunities to be physically active” (Kersh, Stroup, & Taylor, 2011, p.1).
Yet, some of the side-effects that patients worry about are unlikely to occur with standard topical corticosteroid treatment, and studies have characterized the fear of these side-effects as an irrational phobia of topical corticosteroids. This steroid phobia is thought to have been accentuated by the common misconception that topical corticosteroids are analogous to anabolic steroids or oral steroids. Anxiety and phobia associated with use of topical corticosteroids in atopic eczema is an important cause of poor patient adherence, and an important issue to consider in the management of the condition. The consequences of poor compliance and under-treatment of atopic eczema may be more harmful than the risk of side-effects from treatment. Therefore, patient education over treatment and its consequences, both under-treatment and over-treatment, is a key element in the management of atopic eczema.
