therapeutic diet

Medically prescribed eating

A therapeutic diet is an eating plan prescribed to manage or treat a medical condition.

Unlike general nutrition advice, therapeutic diets modify specific nutrients, textures, or food types: a low-sodium diet for heart failure, a renal diet restricting potassium and phosphorus.

Hospitals and care facilities use therapeutic diets as part of treatment protocols.
