dietary therapy

Healing through food

Dietary therapy is the use of specific foods, nutrients, or eating patterns to treat or manage health conditions.

A dietitian might prescribe dietary therapy for diabetes, kidney disease, or food allergies.

The term bridges nutrition and medicine: Her doctor recommended dietary therapy before trying medication.
