Clinical Nutrition

Clinical nutrition encompasses the science of nutrition as it applies to the prevention and treatment of diseases. It delves into understanding the role of nutrients in promoting health and managing various health conditions. This field combines knowledge from biochemistry, physiology, and medicine to develop tailored dietary plans for individuals based on their unique needs and medical history. Clinical nutritionists work closely with patients to assess their nutritional status, identify deficiencies or excesses, and devise strategies to optimize health outcomes. By focusing on evidence-based practices, clinical nutrition aims to improve overall well-being and quality of life through personalized dietary interventions.
