Abstract

Most cases of addictive disorders involve significant deficiencies in essential nutrients, such as proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals. These deficiencies hinder an individual's capacity to effectively metabolize carbohydrates. This comprehensive review aims to synthesize and evaluate the diverse therapeutic approaches utilized in nutritional management for a wide range of addictive conditions, including alcoholism, drug dependency, food addiction, Internet addiction, and sexual addiction, by drawing on the existing scholarly literature.

Keywords: Dietary behaviors; Disorders of eating; Metabolic systems; Nutrition assessment; Nutrition education; Nutrition intervention; Nutritional deficiency; Omega 3 fatty acids.
