Nutrition and Diet

Healthy nutrition is essential for the human body. Eating randomly without a plan can lead to various health problems.
Some nutrients may be missing, while others may be overconsumed. This can cause many different health problems.
As Ornek Medical Center, we are here for your goals together with our dieticians.

What is Diet?

Your daily nutrition program is called diet. It is a nutrition program that is prepared by a professional dietician according to your body type and needs.
When your body mass index is calculated, your ideal weight is determined and a diet list is prepared according to your needs.
Your dietitian may request additional tests and analyses if necessary. It is beneficial to mention that you will not give up the foods you cannot give up during the consultation.
The diet list is prepared by adding the essential foods you need and removing the unnecessary ones.
The diet is not about starving, but about healthy eating.
