What is a Clinical Diet?

A clinical diet is a specialized approach to nutrition designed to meet the unique needs of individuals with medical conditions or health concerns. It goes beyond general dietary recommendations and utilizes food as a therapeutic tool to manage or treat various health issues. Clinical diets are typically implemented in clinical settings like hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centers under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professionals at Midas Wellness Hub.
