Therapeutic diets are tailored to meet the specific nutritional needs of individuals based on their medical conditions. Some common therapeutic diets include:
Clear Liquid Diet: Used post-surgery or during acute illness. This diet includes clear fluids like broths and juices that are easily digested. Full Liquid Diet: Includes all liquids and foods that turn to liquid at room temperature, often used as a transition from clear liquids to solid foods. Diabetic Diet: Regulates blood sugar levels by controlling carbohydrate intake. Low-Sodium Diet: Restricts sodium to manage hypertension or heart failure. Renal Diet: Limits protein, potassium, and phosphorus for patients with kidney disease.
