This book presents an approach to the integration of healthy behaviors in clinical practice based on cutting edge science. It has been authored and edited by a select group of national and international experts in their respective fields who have developed these concepts for application in routine practice.

This second edition of Nutrition, Fitness, and Mindfulness uses three major categories to discuss healthy behavior: healthy eating, active living, and mindfulness. All chapters are formatted to provide key learning points and summarized conclusions for easy reference. Eighteen chapters of the first edition have been updated in this new edition and cover such topics as the DASH diet, plant-based nutrition, the Mediterranean diet, beneficial herbs and spices, fitness, spirituality, meditation, healthy sleep, and disease prevention. 7 new chapters have been added, covering ultra-processed foods, food as medicine, integrating dietary patterns into the cultural preference, multicompartment exercise strategies for improving health in older adults with comorbidities, as well as chapters on evidence-based lifestyle interventions in risk of genitourinary cancer, diabetes, and barriers to a healthy lifestyle.

Nutrition, Fitness, and Mindfulness: An Evidence-based Guide for Clinicians is a comprehensive guide aimed at all clinicians and healthcare professionals encouraging patients to make more thoughtful and healthy lifestyle choices.
