Diet and nutrition
Clinical nutrition uses food to prevent and manage illness. Dietitians create meal plans for weight, diabetes, heart and kidney health, pregnancy and children.
What it treats
- Weight loss and weight gain
- Diet for diabetes and heart health
- Kidney and liver diets
- Pregnancy and child nutrition
- Anaemia and deficiencies
- Food allergies and intolerance
When to see a doctor
- When a doctor advises a special diet
- Unplanned weight change
- A child who is not growing well
In an emergency call 108 or 112 in India, or 911 in the United States.
Good to know
- Small, lasting changes work better than crash diets
- Half your plate as vegetables is a simple rule
- Check with your doctor before supplements
