题目内容:
The Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans has added an unconventional course to its curriculum. Medical students can now take cooking classes in addition to their usual training. This is intended to improve doctors’ nutritional knowledge and encourage them to use food to prevent or cure illnesses.
According to a survey,most medical students in the U.S. receive on average 20 hours of nutritional education throughout their entire education. This is an extremely low number,especially when one considers that diet is at the core(核心 )of many modern Western diseases. From Type 2 diabetes,heart disease,reflux to obesity,allergies,depression and arthritis,eating the right foods can go a long way towards recovery,while significantly reducing dependency on medicinal drugs.
A big part of the problem is that nutritional guidelines in North America are vague,impractical,and difficult to apply. Everyone,from doctors to schoolchildren,learns about specific nutrients and percentages of recommended daily intakes,but that doesn’t translate easily to the grocery store.
Training doctors to cook,however,takes nutritional education to a whole new level. Not only will doctors be able to explain which foods are best to eat,but they will also understand how to prepare them. Tulane medical students prepare for teaching future patients by offering free cooking classes to New Orleans residents—a mutually beneficial arrangement for everyone who shares that food.
Fortunately,the model seems to be catching on. Already two other medical schools have licensed the curriculum and are adding it to their courses. Tulane also offers nutritional training for health-focused chefs from a nearby cooking school,which makes a lot of sense. After all,with the frequency with which North Americans eat out,we could all benefit from chefs who know how to balance nutrition with great taste.
