Balanced Diet Treatment in Turkey
About Balanced Diet
A Balanced Diet is not a single medical procedure but a personalized nutritional plan developed and supervised by a registered dietitian or dietary professional. It involves a comprehensive assessment of an individual's health status, lifestyle, dietary habits, and specific goals to create a sustainable eating strategy. This plan emphasizes consuming appropriate proportions of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), essential micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), fiber, and water from a variety of whole foods. The core objective is to achieve and maintain optimal health, manage or prevent chronic diseases, support metabolic function, and promote overall well-being. A dietitian provides ongoing education, counseling, and support to ensure the plan is effective, adaptable, and integrated into the patient's daily life for long-term success.
