Nutrition is important at any stage of life and has everything to do with health. We are indeed what we eat. Many different diseases and illnesses are linked to the diet in some way or the other, i.e., Diet has a major part in managing or preventing or even in recovering from a disease.
The Department of Nutrition & Dietetics at Narayana Hrudayalaya is progressive and fully committed to provide the highest quality nutritional care, food service and education to patients. The Department is a vital part of life in the Hospital: we feed patients, staff and visitors; educate the nutrition students and other healthcare professionals; and provide nutrition therapy and counseling to patients and their families.
Making dining fun and enjoyable for the inpatients is one of our goals along with meeting therapeutic and nutritional needs. We believe that Nutrition is essential to ones health and good nutrition can put a stop or delay many health problems. We have experienced in many cases that the correct eating habits assist s in speeding up the recovery. We strongly go with our Father of Medicine’s (Hippo crates 400 B.C) saying – “LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE NOT MEDICINE THY FOOD” |
