Fresubin 2kcal Drink: Your Go-to Nutritional Drink 

Watch what you eat – this has been one of the healthiest pieces of advice you can get from anyone in your life. This is easy to practice, especially when a professional, like a dietary manager, can help to manage your diet.

To keep healthy, you must eat a diversified diet, but the reality of how this process should be carried out is far from simple. Some food issues might occur in various conditions, so let’s take a closer look at how you can prevent them.

What Is Dietary Management?

Individuals and organizations with diet-related difficulties might benefit from “dietary management”.

This is sometimes known as “foodservice management,” which involves foodservice supervision.

Healthcare establishments such as hospitals, long-term care homes, and restaurants employ dietary managers to administer meal programs developed by a nutritionist or dietitian.

Cooks and dietary assistants are supervised by nutrition supervisors.

Major Dietary Health Issues That Need Dietary Management

Dietary health issues are common among the elderly population. As a result, there is a need to monitor these individuals and intervene when needed.

You may even be at risk of developing dietary health issues if you have certain medical conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

What Are the Major Nutritional Problems?

• Hypertension

This condition can lead to kidney failure, heart attack, and heart failure. In Singapore, 1 in 4 people between the ages 30 and 69 have high blood pressure, while 17 people pass on from heart disease and stroke daily.

• Protein-energy Malnutrition

When there is a lack of dietary protein and/or energy (calories), the term “protein-energy malnutrition” (PEM), or “protein-energy undernutrition,” is used.

This disorder may include varying degrees of severity.

• Maternal Nutritional Deficiencies

This occurs due to insufficient dietary intake of calories, proteins, important fatty acids (particularly Omega-3 fatty acids), iron, folate, and other micronutrients during pregnancy.

• Insufficient Vitamin A

A lack of Vitamin A may happen due to insufficient nutrition, difficult fat absorption, or liver diseases.

This harms your immune system and hematopoiesis, the bodily process that creates blood cells and plasma. It also causes rashes and vision-related symptoms like night blindness. Immunity and hematopoiesis are harmed, and rashes and usual ocular symptoms result (e.g., xerophthalmia, night blindness).

These characteristic vision-related signs and low Vitamin A levels are used to diagnose the deficiency.

• Chronic Diseases

Some commonly found chronic diseases in our population may develop, like:

• Cancer d
• Diabetes
• Heart disease.
• Hypertension
• High cholesterol

When you have such health problems, your digestive ability is also affected. Therefore, you need to supplement your diet by planning your meals correctly and leading a healthy lifestyle.
