Sammanfattning
The health care sector is, or should be a central setting in the promotion of good dietary habits and increased physical activity. A unique situation prevails in the health and medical services, namely that they reach practically the entire population on the one hand and for the most part each person individually on the other hand. Around two thirds of the population will meet a doctor at least once during a 12-month period, which provides health care professionals with an excellent opportunity for promotion of preventive measures regarding problems related to, for instance, diet, physical activity, tobacco, alcohol, stress etc. This article deals with emotional problems regarding giving dietary advice, which probably is equally problematic for the health care sector as the knowledge-based information.
