Diet therapy (Dietary therapy)
A medical therapy in which a patient is given a certain diet in order to achieve the goal of treatment and improve the progress of the disease. The food given to the patient is called a "patient's diet," and diets that are specifically designed for treatment are called "therapeutic diets." In dietary therapy, a doctor prepares a diet plan, a nutritionist creates a menu based on this plan, and the therapy is carried out at home or in a hospital. In general, it is important to pay attention to the following points: (1) the food should be easy to digest and absorb, (2) the food should be prepared with attention to the patient's preferences and should not cause the patient to tire of the food, (3) foods should be selected to avoid nutrient deficiencies, (4) appropriate portions should be considered depending on the patient's condition, and (5) hygiene should be taken into particular consideration when preparing the food.
