Dietetics and Nutrition at Creu Blava
Dietetics, for its part, is a branch of medicine that studies the types and rules of eating and the foods a person can eat according to their sex, age or physical activity. A dietitian, for example, focuses more on eating and can give the patient various guidelines for following a suitable diet in order to lose weight.
Dietetics is a science closely linked to nutrition, as it helps us understand eating habits and analyse which best suit each person, in order to establish personalised diets. It also helps us understand the energy value of nutrients and therefore calorie requirements, how the body processes these nutrients and how much should be consumed for healthy nutrition.
Grup Creu Blava dietitians apply the principles of nutrition to each patient’s diet, planning special menus and diets individually for each patient. They teach the principles of nutrition and how to apply them when choosing food, and monitor the patient’s progress in order to adjust dietary guidelines to their needs.
