Official guidance from #ESPEN about nutritional management of #COVIDー19 clinicalnutritionjournal.com… A useful summary of nutrition/malnutrition, immune function and critical care. But in reality, #ICU is different... FWIW a personal interpretation of limited experience thus far..

'Eat less veg and more marshmallows' is something you might say to a patient with a high output stoma. Clinical nutrition is a complex world. The correct advice can seem counterintuitive for health. Which is why nutrition should never be simplistically reduced. #NutritionMatters

Let's say no to 'detoxes' & 'cleanses' this new year! Not only is there no scientific evidence to support any detox diet, they may do more harm than good by risking dehydration, deficiencies & can even mess up your 💩schedule leading to dependency💊 , choose REAL FOOD! 🌽🥑🍇🥔
