Dr Sarika Satav, Head of Department of Nutrition and Dietetics from Noble Hospital, Pune, said, “Normally when we speak of diet and nutrition people associate it with weight loss. But diet is not only associated with weight loss. Actually, nutrition is nourishing your body with real, whole foods so that you are consistently satisfied and energised to live life to the fullest. In a multi-speciality hospital like Noble, we associate diet with illness and wellness. We craft special diet plans for not only diabetic patients but for patients suffering from different diseases. Following healthy food practices help us to get cured and treated early. It helps in reducing the hospital stay.”
India is celebrating ‘National Nutrition Week’ from September one to seven. The hospital authority mentioned that an exhibition displaying different seeds, magical foods from our kitchen, protein food awareness, and some detox recipes with their valuable contribution to our health will be arranged in the hospital. The models of a balanced meal and a hospital meal for a diabetic patient will also be kept for people’s awareness.
Dr Satav added, “We will be counselling people according to their BMI report and the disease history. Healthy food is a key to a healthy body. With this initiative, we want to focus on preventive aspects. Disease burden will be reduced if everyone is aware of what they are eating and what they should be eating.”
