DIET AND LIFESTYLE

Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Health issues such as diabetes, hypertension or atherosclerosis could be a result of poor nutrition. The Nutrition and Dietetics Centre at CNH establishes and encourage nutritional standards and practices as an integral part of the health care service provided. Dietetics is about healthy eating practices that act as preventive and curative means and pave the foundation for a healthier life. At CNH, we regularly counsel our patients about a nutritious, balanced diet that consists of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins and electrolytes for their general well-being.

Good nutrition is essential for normal organ development and function, normal reproduction, growth and maintenance of muscles and tissue, optimum activity and working efficiency, building resistance to infection and in repairing body damage or injury.
