DIETOLOGY

"The Dietetics/Nutrition Service at Salus Hospital for the first time works in close cooperation with the Psychology-Psychiatry service, the Department of Endocrinology, the Department of Gastroenterology and the Department of General Surgery, equipped with all the devices for anthropometric measurements, physical activity measurements, etc

In this office, information and education of patients will be carried out in the framework of primary health care, in order to protect and promote good nutrition and the importance of physical activity.

In cooperation with the medical staff, the assessment and diagnosis of dietary risks will be made for hospitalized patients, as well as for patients who come for a dietary consultation, based on the latest scientific information and research, and the methods accepted by European national bodies and scientific associations

The aim of the Dietetics Service is to provide services of a high health standard, including:
Dietetic consultation for all patients to take body measurements such as:
Measurement of Basal Metabolism which is the amount of energy the body needs to keep an inactive awake body alive. Measuring basal metabolic rate is essential for developing a personalized diet plan.
Body composition measurement to look at body fat mass & muscle mass, which we can measure and evaluate in the long term nutritional diet plan.
Counting muscle tissue and body fluids as a measure of hydration and edema/fluid retention.
Information & Education of patients whose condition requires systematic care in the diet
Information on the combination of food groups to have a healthy meal complete with all the nutritional values in an individualized way.
Draws up the nutritional plan for patients based on the disease nosologies determined by the doctor.
Informing and educating them against malnutrition, i.e. problems arising from obesity or from insufficient quantitative or qualitative nutritional support
The goal is to sensitize patients that, through individualized diet, they can change their malnutrition.
Based on scientific research, we maintain the parameters of maximum good nutrition to guarantee quality of life and to gain a healthy weight through lifestyle changes and nutritional counseling. "
