Nutrition Counseling
Posted On: March 11 2010
Focusing On Your Unique Dietary Health Concerns Our dietitians can assess and provide for the nutritional needs of inpatients, and outpatient community members. Nutrition counseling is given for diabetes, geriatrics, maternal and child health, sports nutrition, weight loss or gain, cancer related nutrition issues, and food allergies. Many other situations also can benefit from nutrition counseling. The dietitian will work with your physician to provide a treatment plan which may include the following:
· ideal body weight, caloric and dietary needs
· foods that help facilitate swallowing
· special diets for children and seniors
· dietary modifications that need to be made as a result of an acute situation or a disability
· patient and family education on nutrition topics related to diseases (i.e., diabetes, short bowel syndrome)
Healthy Eating Leads to Improved Health
Eating healthy foods can bring real enjoyment to your life, lower stress levels and give you more energy to keep up with a busy lifestyle. Eating a well-balanced diet can also be an essential part of the treatment of some serious medical conditions, such as hypertension (high blood pressure). Consultations with our dietitians are held both while in the hospital and on an outpatient basis. Topics many individuals are eager to cover include food preparation, variety, and food substitutions.
How Can You Get Your Nutrition Counseling Started?
Contact Nutrition Services by calling Carolyn Moore at 252-522-7287 and use option 3 on the phone menu. Carolyn will help you with the information needed from your physician to get started. Outpatient consultations are done in the Minges Wellness Center.
