What is the importance of hospital nutrition?

Have you ever stopped to think about the importance of hospital nutrition? It's more than just food served in a hospital - it's an essential part of the healing and recovery process. When someone is sick or injured, the body needs extra nutrients to heal and strengthen itself. That's where hospital nutrition comes in. These special meals are carefully planned to provide all the essential nutrients the body needs, in the right amount, to support recovery.

Types of Hospital Nutrition

Routine diet

This diet provides the essential nutrients needed to keep the body functioning. It is prescribed for patients who have no specific dietary restrictions and can eat food of a normal consistency.

General diet

Similar to the routine diet, the general diet is suitable for patients who can eat food of a normal consistency, but may need specific modifications, such as the addition or removal of certain foods, depending on individual health needs.

Soft diet

When the digestive system needs a little rest, the soft diet comes into play. It consists of easily digestible foods, such as creamy soups, purees and soft meats, and is recommended for patients with mild gastrointestinal problems.

Pasty diet

Trophic EP has a higher protein content in its macronutrient distribution. It has a protein content of 18% per liter, guaranteeing a high protein content in addition to its higher calorie density.
