Nutrition consulting
Have you ever thought about your eating habits – how and what you eat? In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, people often forget about proper nutrition or simply consider it unimportant. The food we eat today is too energy-dense and contains too much fat, sugar, salt and alcohol and not enough dietary fibre and antioxidants.
Basic information about the examination
Experts also warn that poor eating habits and an unhealthy lifestyle contribute significantly to obesity, cardiovascular diseases, lipid metabolism disorders and diabetes as well as increased blood pressure.
Gastrointestinal conditions and diseases (those affecting the gastrointestinal tract – the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas), including food allergies and diabetes, as well as cardiovascular conditions and diseases (those affecting the heart and blood vessels), are one of the Diagnostic Centre Bled’s main areas of focus. Your eating habits can have a major impact on your health.
Our specialists take an interdisciplinary approach in their work, regularly collaborating with a clinical dietitian in the treatment of their patients.
We provide individual nutritional advice, meal planning and progress monitoring for specific diseases, such as metabolic syndrome (diabetes), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), triglyceridemia, obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), food allergies and intolerances and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
As part of a preventive nutrition consultation, a clinical dietitian will:
- analyse your body composition using an InBody analyser,
- analyse your current eating habits,
- provide you with an individualized plan for developing healthy eating habits (advice on a healthy, protective diet), and
- give you written instructions with a nutrition and exercise plan.
We also have a longer, 2-month programme that includes individual consulting and regular progress monitoring with regard to specific health problems. We will monitor your progress in changing your lifestyle through regular body composition measurements and laboratory analyses and help you make your new eating habits part of your everyday life.
The 2-month programme includes a comprehensive initial nutrition consultation with a laboratory analysis, an analysis of your current eating habits, body composition measurements, an individualized weekly meal plan prepared using Prodi 6.3 Expert software, and three follow-up consultations with measurements.
