Diet & Nutrition

As diet has such an impact on human health it is essential that care providers do everything possible to ensure that clients eat and drink adequate amounts of suitable foodstuffs.

The effects of exercise, cigarettes and drugs are looked at in manuals such as Diabetes Awareness and Stroke Awareness; this manual will cover the food and fluids that people consume.

The aim of this manual is to provide you with an understanding of eating for good health. If you have particular concerns about malnutrition and supporting clients who are at risk, there is a separate Ecert HealthCare Training manual which focuses on assessment and special diets. (It’s called ‘Malnutrition”).
