What Is Nutrition & What Is Nutrition Therapy?

Nutrition is food, supplements, and other substances that affect growth and health. Maintaining proper nutrition is essential for providing your body with the fuel and energy it needs to take care of biological and metabolic functions necessary for life. Consuming the proper nutrients, eating healthy foods, and getting enough food and water will help your body function properly, fight illness and disease, and maintain cognitive and other functions.

Nutrition therapy, also called medical nutrition therapy or MNT, is a specialized treatment program that uses nutrition to manage physical and mental health conditions and reduce symptoms. Nutrition therapy involves a thorough assessment of a patient’s lifestyle, nutritional and dietary deficiencies, and physical and mental health. An MNT program may include changes to diet and lifestyle, counseling, medication, and both intravenous or tube nutrition and oral supplementation of nutrition.
