What is Nutrition and Diet?
Just as nutrition plays an important role in preventing many diseases, it also plays a key role in the treatment of many illnesses.
It is a field that aims for individuals to eat in a balanced way and appropriate to their needs in order to lead a healthy life. Reaching and maintaining an ideal weight through healthy nutrition ensures that the individual feels good both physically and mentally.
Nutrition and Dietetics is a branch of science that examines the effects of nutrients on human health.
Science of Nutrition: What is Dietetics?
Dietetics can be defined as the discipline of applying the science of nutrition to individuals according to their state of disease and health. Foods not only provide energy; they also offer benefits in terms of preventing diseases and improving health problems.
The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics provides nutritional and dietary recommendations based on the individual's condition (age, height, weight, physical activity, home and work conditions, diseases, and laboratory findings) and follows the individual at specific intervals.

Academic Hospital Nutrition and Diet Department
The Academic Hospital Nutrition and Diet Department centers on the ideal of creating social awareness with a healthy nutritional lifestyle.
In line with this ideal, our department decides on the nutritional plan with a multidisciplinary approach. Consultations are held with the relevant medical departments to create nutritional plans for inpatients and outpatients.
For patients with diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, opinions are sought from different medical units such as Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Cardiology, and Gynecology and Obstetrics to create a nutritional plan that will provide the highest benefit for the patient.
