The level of evidence in
this article is Level VII
because it contains
evidence from the report
of a committee of
experts from the World
Health Organization.
Their findings show that
a healthy diet prevents
malnutrition in all its
forms and diet-related
diseases and chronic
conditions.
In Romans 14:2, the
Bible recommends that
people should watch
what they eat. This
means that one should
eat food that promotes
good health. In nursing
practice, nurses should
promote healthy living
behaviors.
This article’s evidence
level is Level 1 because
it is a systematic review
of research articles
published by other
authors.
The findings indicate
that the risk of agerelated chronic illnesses
can be reduced or
mediated using dietary
interventions. The
routine care of the aging
population should
incorporate specific
nutrients in their diets.
According to the Bible
in Isaiah 55:2, people
are advised to eat what
is good and delight
themselves in rich food.
Therefore, good food is
vital in maintaining a
healthy lifestyle. Nurses
should promote healthy
eating habits and good
nutrition.

community should

chronic illnesses. They
should educate them and
encourage a healthy diet
to manage those
illnesses. Nurses should
educate patients on
healthy diet and
nutrition.

of a healthy diet is based on what other researchers have found in their previous research studies.
For instance, the World Health Organization defined a healthy diet as a diet that prevents any
form of malnutrition and maintains and improves health (World Health Organization, 2019).
Similarly, the Scripture also advises people about healthy eating. The Bible says, “eat what is
good, and delight yourselves in rich food” (King James Bible, Isaiah 55:2). Therefore,
maintaining a healthy diet is key to maintaining and improving the health of people with chronic
illnesses. However, this statement must be substantiated by linking it to scientific evidence. In
nursing and healthcare, evidence-based practice entails utilizing the available research in
healthcare delivery (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2018). Therefore, healthcare providers offer
care based on scientific evidence. People with chronic illnesses also need evidence-based care.
Chronic illnesses are diverse, and they include cancer, diabetes, and stroke (Petricone-Westwood
et al., 2019). While a healthy diet is recommended for chronic illness patients, physical therapy
may also be an alternative. Physical therapy entails activities that enhance the patient’s physical
strength, muscle strength, and aerobic capacity (Mak et al., 2017). However, a healthy diet is a
better alternative to physical therapy in managing the symptoms of people with chronic illnesses.
