Medical Nutrition

Medical nutrition plays a crucial role in preventing, managing, and treating various health conditions by providing tailored dietary strategies that support optimal health outcomes.

 

Unlike general nutrition, it focuses on addressing specific medical needs, such as managing diabetes, hypertension, gastrointestinal disorders, or recovery from surgeries.

 

By customizing nutrient intake—like balancing macronutrients, incorporating functional foods, or ensuring adequate micronutrients—medical nutrition helps improve immune function, accelerate healing, and enhance quality of life.

 

It serves as a powerful adjunct to medical treatments, bridging the gap between clinical care and holistic well-being, emphasizing that food is not just fuel but also a cornerstone of health.
