Introduction[edit | edit source]
According to an article in Critical Care Nursing Clinics in North America, "Culinary medicine uses what is known about the pharmacologic properties of food to treat, manage, and prevent disease."[1]The American Journal of Health Promotion defines culinary medicine as "an evidence-based field of medicine that combines the art of cooking with the science of medicine."[2]Some medical training programs are introducing culinary medicine courses and workshops as a part of nutrition education to improve nutrition in the community.[3][4][5]
A pilot study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that a culinary medicine course improved medical students' knowledge of nutrition.[6]An article in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine outlines an open-source Culinary Medicine Curriculum.[7]An article in Clinical Therapeutics proposes frameworks to include culinary medicine interventions for individuals and organizations.[8]Finally, a pilot study outlines a "hand-on nutrition and cooking curriculum for children of low-income families."[9]
Culinary Medicine for Health and Disease Management[edit | edit source]
Culinary medicine may be used for the following:
- Patients with chronic kidney disease[10]
- Patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy to help prevent malnutrition[11]
- Patients with sodium-restriction recommendations for cardiovascular health[12]
Also, cooking classes may be used to improve diet quality in adults and children[13], Mediterranean diet adherence, and food cost savings for families.[14]
