Dietotherapy

Diet therapy is a therapeutic diet, or, in other words, the desire to conquer the disease with the help of changes in the diet. This method is actively used in both official medicine and self-treatment and each time shows fairly good results. For example, diet therapy for diabetes is the only way to a normal life, because if a person with such a disease will abuse sugar and sweet, this will lead to serious health problems.

Principles of diet are always the same for all diseases. Whatever diet is prescribed, it will always obey them, because they are the basis of diet therapy. Their violation can greatly affect the effect, therefore, their execution must be clearly monitored.

1. Calorie diet should ideally match the energy costs of the body. If calories are not enough, it will provoke distraction, inhibition, poor health, and if too much, then an undesirable increase in weight.
2. The food should be regular, preferably at about the same time, and except, ideally, 5-6 times a day in small portions.
3. Any diet should be balanced in terms of nutrients, because otherwise serious internal system failure can occur.
4. You need to eat not to the heaviness in the stomach, but only to a slight sense of satiety.
5. The food should be varied and pleasant for the patient, otherwise there is a decrease in appetite and weight loss.
6. Cooking should be correct - for example, steam; this method allows you to save all vitamins.

Diet therapy for diseases of the liver, kidneys and other organs will differ only in lists of permitted and prohibited products, and these rules remain constant for absolute any application of diet therapy for therapeutic purposes. In addition, a doctor who prescribes a diet, will certainly pay attention to additional diseases, appetite, the regime of the day. All this influences what a therapeutic diet should be.

Somewhat apart from this is diet therapy for obesity. If the rest of the diet should fully cover energy costs, then in this case, the calorie intake should be reduced, because only this allows the body to begin to consume the fat reserves accumulated earlier. In addition, such a diet must necessarily be combined with sports or increased mobility (depending on the degree of obesity).
