Clinical Nutrition

Individuals often acquire the required nutrients for their bodies through normal daily diets, which allow the body to metabolise the foods appropriately. However, some circumstances, such as disease, anxiety, or stress, may prohibit the body from acquiring sufficient nutrients alone through nutrition. Clinical nutrition is largely concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and management of nutritional alterations in patients with chronic diseases and disorders. In this context, clinical refers to the treatment of patients, including outpatients in clinics and private practise, as well as inpatients in hospitals. It largely encompasses the scientific disciplines of nutrition and dietetics. Clinical nutrition also tries to maintain a good energy balance while also giving patients with adequate levels of nutrients such protein, vitamins, and minerals. Clinical nutritionists stay up to date on the newest breakthroughs in nutrition research and convert them into a simple message that can help individuals or entire communities become healthy.
