Nutrition is key in the prevention and management of disease

Mission Statement for First Line Medical Communications Ltd by founder Dr Lindy van den Berghe

As a medical doctor, editor, and writer, I have worked on numerous drug marketing campaigns over the past 40 years and nutrition has been largely ignored as a strategy for preventing or managing disease. To address this nutrition gap, I set up First Line Medical Communications, and this has led to the development and publication of nutrition-tracking apps to support people who want to ensure their diet helps them avoid or manage many different diseases. A Mediterranean diet (see below) is consistently rated the best diet for preventing and managing disease. Ultraprocessed foods cause and aggravate overweight, obesity and many diseases.
