Diet Clinic
“He, who has health, has hope. And he, who has hope, has everything.”
Each of us are individuals, no two people are alike. We eat different foods, exercise at different rates and times and consume different amounts of vitamins and minerals. We all require the same basic nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Yet there is a different amount of each substance for each individual that helps him/ her fight off disease. The nutrient-related disorder can be cured once the nutritional balance is achieved. We live in a world where many of the medical diseases are a direct result of our stationary lifestyle and poor nutrition habits.
Dietitian is a healthcare professional who focuses on proper food and nutrition in order to promote good health. As well as they supervise the preparation and service of food, develop modified diets, participate in research, and educate individuals and groups on good nutritional habits.
The goals of dietitians are to provide medical nutritional intervention. Dietary modification to address medical issues involving dietary intake is a major part of dietetics. Dietitian also provides specialist services such as in diabetes, obesity, oncology, osteoporosis, pediatrics, renal disease, gastroenterology, cardiology, bariatric, endocrinology etc
