Diet can be used to treat chronic diseases, yet nutrition education is not sufficiently included in most medical school curriculum. Providing practical nutrition information that could lead to improvements in clinical measures could improve patient outcomes and physician clinical skills; it might also improve the diet and eating behavior of the medical student. This study used a 4-week cooking program of plant-based recipes that included extra virgin olive oil to provide medical students with practical cooking skills and nutrition education. The results indicate that the program can improve both the diet and eating behavior of the student and their nutrition knowledge.
饮食可用于治疗慢性疾病,但大多数医学院课程中并未充分纳入营养教育。提供能够改善临床指标的实用营养信息,可改善患者治疗效果和医生临床技能;这也可能改善医学生的饮食和饮食习惯。本研究采用了一个为期4周的以植物性食谱为主的烹饪项目,其中包括特级初榨橄榄油,旨在为医学生提供实用烹饪技能和营养教育。结果表明,该项目能够改善学生的饮食和饮食习惯以及他们的营养知识。
