Medical Nutrition

Based on the patient's nutritional state, medical nutrition therapy comprises a wide range of treatments. The degree of therapeutic severity might range from a few minor dietary adjustments to tube or intravenous feeding. Medical nutrition therapy is essential for the treatment of many chronic illnesses, and it is also efficient and affordable. The increasingly widespread use of parenteral and enteral nutritional formulae in many healthcare settings today is a key component of medical nutrition therapy. Parenteral nutrition may make it possible for those who are unable to eat anything orally to obtain the nutrients they require to survive.
