Therapeutic Nutrition
Shipra provides medical nutrition therapy for people with diverse medical conditions, both for prevention and
management of chronic diseases. At least four of the ten leading causes of death in the India - heart disease,
cancer, stroke and diabetes- are directly related to the way we eat; diet is also implicated in many other chronic
conditions. Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease
and osteoporosis develop silently and painlessly. These Chronic diseases can be prevented with lifestyle
changes and healthy eating. As an Integrative care practitioner I help my clients understand how good nutrition is
the foundation for optimum health.
Therapeutic or medical nutrition involves the clinical use of specific nutrients in amounts that
cannot be readily achieved from your food alone. Nutrients, of course, are those elements in
our food that provide the tools and building blocks to enable our body to maintain health and
function.
