What Is a Therapeutic Diet?

Regardless of your age, a good diet can be crucial to one’s health. As we age, eating right becomes less of a lifestyle choice and more of medical necessity. A therapeutic diet is something designed by your physician or dietician that helps handle and regulate certain health issues that arise as we age. Below are examples of what a therapeutic diet might look like:

• Low cholesterol diet
• Low sodium diet
• Low calorie diet
• High protein diet
• Diabetic diet
