NOVA Medical School has launched the book “Nutrição adaptada à Comunidade” (Nutrition adapted to the Community), a work that results from the institution's partnership with APOFEN and ULS São José, which presents practical and easy recipes by Chef Fábio Bernardino.
This book follows two editions of the Cycle of Workshops “Nutritional and Food Intervention in Hereditary Protein Metabolism Diseases”, held between 2022 and 2024 at NOVA Medical School's Kitchen Lab.
Hereditary protein metabolism diseases are a challenge for patients and their families, since their nutritional intervention promotes a restriction of the substrate of the affected metabolic pathway, leading to challenges that accompany these patients throughout their life cycle.
It was with this in mind that NOVA Medical School promoted the two editions of the Cycle of Workshops and is now launching the book “Nutrition adapted to the Community”, which demystifies and uncomplicates any barriers associated with the integration of dietary changes, preserving the principles of healthy eating and allowing the inclusion of dietary patterns identical to those of the general population.
With this book, NOVA Medical School reaffirms its commitment to continue acting on behalf of the community, patients and their families.

The institution would also like to thank APOFEN and ULS São José for their support, as well as Nutricia, Glutamine, PTC Therapeutics and PIAM Iberia for their support in printing this book.
