    Medical nutrition is a specialized area of healthcare that focuses on the role of diet in maintaining health and managing diseases. It combines the science of nutrition with clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of individualized dietary interventions to prevent, treat, or manage health conditions. In recent decades, the significance of medical nutrition has become increasingly recognized due to the growing understanding of the profound impact diet has on overall well-being. 
    Diet plays a pivotal role in both the prevention and management of various diseases. It is now understood that nutrition can influence the development of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. These conditions are not only prevalent globally but are also closely linked to poor dietary habits, making nutrition a key factor in reducing their burden. For individuals already living with chronic diseases, medical nutrition becomes even more critical, as it helps manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and in some cases, slow disease progression. 
    The core principle of medical nutrition is to design personalized nutrition care plans that meet the specific needs of patients. This involves taking into account factors such as age, gender, medical history, lifestyle, and specific health conditions. By using evidence-based approaches, healthcare professionals, including dietitians, doctors, and nutritionists, can guide patients toward dietary choices that support their health and recovery.

    The story of Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from Central Park Zoo and captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of followers around the world. 
     
     
     
    Nature writer David Gessner chronicles the year-long odyssey of Flaco and the human drama that followed the owl who captured the imaginations of New Yorkers and people around the world. Though he'd spent his life in a cage, Flaco learned to survive in New York City by eating rats, squirrels, and birds. He was an immigrant coming from elsewhere to make it in the big city. Central Park, the island of green in an urban sea, was his new home territory. 
     
     
     
    Flaco's urban adventure brought controversy, pitting those who felt he should be returned to the safety of the zoo against those who created the "Free Flaco" movement. The birding world was fractured over the ethics of the online sharing of his location that brought scores of enthusiasts to view him each day. And his end—with a grim necropsy revealing Flaco had suffered a viral infection from eating pigeons and had multiple rodenticides in his system—serves as a Rachel Carson-esque warning about the harm we've done to our urban environments, inspiring the passage of long-sought legislation protecting urban birds and regulations meant to reduce the use of rodenticides in New York City.
