Best Answer

Doctors go to special presentations and courses designed to help them push medications and keep patient time down to about 15 min limit per patient. Also many times nutrition may only be one facet of an issue so they prescribe the medication and just tell u to eat better. The rest is up to you.

Why don't doctors tell people to eat a more healthy diet?

Actually, most doctors don't know very much about nutrition. They have been trained to treat disease with drugs and surgery. They have not been trained to prevent disease through healthy diets and lifestyles. Education about nutrition is all but nonexistent in medical schools. Only 30% of medical schools have a single required course in nutrition. A recent Senate investigation revealed that the average physician in the United States received less than three hours of training in nutrition during four years of medical school. That's not three semester hours. It's three total hours. To be fair, some doctors are actually following the science, and know that good nutrition can prevent and even reverse heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases, but many don't mention it to their patients, because they don't believe that their patients will accept it.
