Clinical Nutrition
There is a famous saying that “You are what you eat”.
Food is the fuel of your body. Research shows that dietary habits influence disease risk. While certain foods may trigger chronic health conditions, others offer strong medicinal and protective qualities. Thus, many people argue that food is medicine. Yet, diet alone cannot and should not replace medicine in all circumstances.

Sports nutrition is the foundation of athletic success. It is a well-designed nutrition plan that allows active adults and athletes to perform at their best. It supplies the right food, energy, nutrients, and fluids to keep the body well hydrated and functioning at peak levels.
A (sports) nutritional advice depends on the training program that the person is following, the personal circumstances, the individual and the goal.
