he patient's condition was poor: She had
suffered from liver disease in the past and was
now about 10 pounds under weight and had
been experiencing loss of taste and dry mouth.

Aurora, knew the exact prescription to appease his

Denver with all the ingredients in hand.

the dry mouth," Arlas, 30, said. "It's spicy and has a lot
of flavor so that will help with her taste loss, and there's
a lot of healthy fats that will help her increase her weight.
We're also going to do a Vietnamese avocado shake for
dessert for added nutrition."
Arlas and more than 20 other medical students and
dental students from the University of Colorado have
been learning to cook nutritious meals from students
and faculty at Johnson & Wales this year as part of a
collaborative education program started out of the
CU School of Dental Medicine called the Frontier Center
4 Health.

Medical and dental students cook side by side to learn more
about nutrition and its impact on patient health.
