A healthy lifestyle relies on regular and balanced nutrition. Proper nutrition is considered a crucial factor in preventing many diseases and assisting in their treatment. Our Nutrition and Dietetics Unit aims to improve individuals' quality of life, raise awareness about healthy eating habits, and provide support in the recovery process through personalized nutritional therapy for specific diseases. Our unit assists clients in various areas such as healthy weight loss or gain, nutrition for insulin resistance and diabetes, proper nutrition during pregnancy, diagnosis and nutritional treatment of obesity, and more. Which Diseases Does the Nutrition and Dietetics Unit Address? The field of nutrition and dietetics covers a wide range of diseases and conditions, from childhood to adulthood, including pregnancy. Medical nutrition therapy is essential in the treatment of common diseases such as cancer, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, bone and joint diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, thyroid disorders, kidney diseases, obesity, and women's health issues such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In addition, nutrition and dietetics play a crucial role in promoting healthy weight loss, managing insulin resistance and diabetes, providing nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding, addressing childhood nutrition issues, managing nutrition problems in hospitalized patients, promoting healthy weight gain, managing allergies and food intolerances, and establishing a balanced and healthy diet. Every individual's nutritional needs vary based on factors such as age, gender, body weight, health condition, blood parameters, and eating habits. Therefore, our dietitians create personalized nutrition programs considering these factors to ensure a balanced and healthy diet. In cases of eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, a multidisciplinary team approach is required to change disordered eating behaviors and establish a new eating pattern.
