The concept of clinical nutrition is a branch of nutrition, and it is a comprehensive science that studies the relationship between nutrition and diseases, and applies nutrition knowledge to treat diseases, enhance the body's resistance, promote rehabilitation, improve health and delay aging according to the psychological and physiological characteristics of patients and pathological characteristics of diseases.

First, clinical nutrition.

1 is a science about the nature, distribution and metabolism of nutrients in food and the consequences of insufficient food intake. Nutrients in clinical nutrition refer to chemicals that can be absorbed in food and used to improve health. Some nutrients are necessary because they cannot be synthesized by the body, so they must be obtained from food.

2. For patients, a reasonable and balanced nutritious diet is extremely important. "Medicine and food are homologous, medicine and food are homologous", which shows that nutritious diet and medicine have the same effect in treating diseases. A reasonable nutritious diet can improve the body's ability to prevent diseases and resist surgery and anesthesia. A reasonable and balanced nutritious diet is extremely important for patients.

Second, development and application

With the sequencing of human genome and the deepening of basic and clinical research in medicine and life sciences, there are more opportunities for the development of nutritional biotherapy. Molecular nutrition has made great progress in recent years. Both the supply of tissue-specific substances and the change of stress response measurement methods emphasize the same idea, that is, the achievements of basic nutrition will play a huge role in clinical nutrition and achieve fruitful results.
