THERAPEUTIC DIETS IN

STATEN ISLAND, NY

Every one of our residents comes to us with specific dietary needs. In fact, we all have nutritional requirements. Children, young adults, seniors, and the elderly require different nutritional intake. However, a person with a health issue, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, needs a diet that correlates directly with daily and long-term health goals.

Understanding the Therapeutic Diet



Therapeutic diets address health concerns to help residents manage health conditions. For example, if you have diabetes and need to focus on a healthy balance of carbohydrates and proteins while eliminating excess sugars, our nutritionist will plan balanced meals with your blood sugar in mind. Consider the following benefits of a therapeutic:

Improve or maintain optimal daily nutrition

Focus on reaching your best body weight, either through gaining or losing healthy weight

Avoid accidental ingestion of allergens

Address intolerances, such as lactose intolerance, to avoid discomfort

Balance fats, carbs, proteins, sugars, cholesterol, and salt for a variety of conditions, including diabetes, hyper/hypotension, high cholesterol counts, kidney disease, and heart disease

Use of a detox diet, or cleansing diet, to remove toxins and improve colon health
