Dietetics
The word “diet” of Greek origin means regulated nutrition, medical nutrition. Dietetics is the science of nutrition. In addition to up-to-date, balanced nutritional advice, our dietitian with clinical experience provides patients with individualized dietary advice to cure various ailments.
We also help you compile special diets (lactose, flour sensitivity, diabetes, biliary diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, etc.).
The dietitian, with knowledge of food chemistry, biochemistry and nutrition science, as well as other useful practical knowledge, compiles the most ideal, personalized nutritional plan. The dietitian offers efficient help in changing lifestyles, maintaining good health, and preventing illnesses. In case of a serious illness or condition, the dietitian draws up a personalized lifestyle and nutrition plan for the patient, with particular reference to their medical history, medical condition, and the course of their illness.
