Nutrition in Chronic illness

Nutrition in chronic illness focuses on how diet can manage and improve outcomes for individuals with long-term health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. It involves tailoring nutritional strategies to address the specific needs and challenges posed by chronic diseases. Proper nutrition can help control symptoms, enhance quality of life, and support overall health by addressing deficiencies, managing weight, and optimizing metabolic functions. This field emphasizes individualized dietary plans, including the role of specific nutrients and dietary patterns, to mitigate disease progression and improve treatment effectiveness, ultimately contributing to better long-term health and well-being.
