Summary | Nutrition therapy

Summary

Human food consists of nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat), the so-called energy suppliers. Furthermore, the human body is dependent on the supply of certain active substances (vitamins, minerals, trace elements, bioactive substances) and water to remain healthy and efficient. This must be taken into account in the nutritional therapy of overweight persons.

With an adapted calorie reduction with the goal of losing weight (weight reduction), which must not be too high, the daily supply of all above-mentioned active substances and water must be ensured. A varied diet, calculated according to need, becomes necessary.
