It is generally known that good and correct nutrition contributes to health. Especially when there are medical complaints and / or illnesses, there is a lot to be gained here. Dieticians at Pieters Behandel Praktijk are specialists in the field of nutrition with regard to illness and health for seniors aged 65 and over.
In this target group, (disease-related) factors may contribute to, for example, a reduced nutritional intake, unintentional weight loss, malnutrition or a decrease in muscle mass. Possible nutritional problems in the home situation can be identified and treated earlier in collaboration with general practitioners, home care employees, paramedics and informal carers.
What can a dietitian do for you?
During an introductory meeting with the dietitian, the amount and composition of your diet will be examined and whether this corresponds to your needs. Together with you, a personal treatment plan is then drawn up in the form of nutritional or dietary advice.
The dietician can assist you with:
Disease-related feeding problems Unintentional weight loss/malnutrition Decreased appetite Altered taste/smell Difficulties in swallowing The use of medical supplements
For whom is dietetics useful?
Adults who have problems with nutrition, for example due to a condition, illness or age-related problems, can contact the dieticians of Pieters Behandel Praktijk. They specialize in diseases and disorders such as malnutrition, dementia, cardiovascular disease, COPD, Parkinson’s, and stomach and intestinal problems.
