An evidence-based guide to the uses, benefits and practical application of a plant-based diet for all health professionals, taking both a holistic and a systems-based (heart, respiratory system, diabetes, kidneys, liver, gut) approach. The book draws on the University of Winchester’s Plant-based nutrition course, the first university-based course on plant-based nutrition in the UK. It is led by Shireen Kassam and many of the internationally based chapter authors contribute to it.
