Clinical Nutrition

Clinical Nutrition is the study of the relationship between diet and health. It looks at how food and nutrients are used by the body for maintenance, growth, and repair and how to optimize the health of individuals with specific dietary needs. Clinical Nutrition plays an important role in disease prevention, management, and treatment, as well as in overall health promotion. It is used to identify and address nutritional deficiencies, excesses, and imbalances, monitor the effects of dietary interventions, and inform decisions about nutrition-related treatments and management plans. Clinical Nutrition is an essential component of health care, helping to prevent and manage chronic diseases and improve the quality of life.
