What is Nutrition?
 

Nutrition is the specialty dedicated to assessing nutritional status, promoting balanced eating habits, and adapting diet to the specific needs of each individual, across different stages of life and clinical contexts.

Through an individualised approach, this specialty contributes to disease prevention, management of chronic conditions, improvement of physical and mental well-being, and optimisation of quality of life. Nutritional support takes into account not only diet, but also lifestyle, routines, and each patient’s goals.

At Cordeiro Saúde, Nutrition works in close collaboration with specialties such as Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, and Psychology, ensuring integrated and tailored care.
