Nutrition and AIDS is one of the first books dedicated to the nutritional requirements of AIDS patients. The book not only presents those nutritional changes which occur in the HIV infected person, but also discusses the potential benefits of using supplements to overcome nutritional deficiencies. Thus, vitamin, mineral, protein and carbohydrate depletion and replacement are addressed. The authors present a scientifically balanced explanation of why some AIDS patients become malnourished and then present treatment regimens and methods (such as parenteral elimination) to overcome the loss of muscle mass. The management of the nutritional needs of AIDS patients is addressed as well.
