The importance of relying on the health food professional

Hippocrates more than 2,000 years ago said:

“let food be your medicine.”

Unfortunately, it is only in recent decades that the great potential that nutrition has, both in preventing disease and in facilitating its recovery, has been discovered.

Of course, to get the maximum benefit from a diet, it is necessary to adapt it to each individual, who is unique for various reasons:

  • Physical characteristics;
  • Past and present disorders;
  • Medications she is taking;
  • Type of life and work he does.

So each diet must be established on a case-by-case basis, personalizing it and choosing the most suitable one (vegan, vegetarian, Mediterranean, zone).

Making sure to eat a balanced diet and choosing foods carefully is essential to preserve well-being and prevent physical ailments and diseases. Investing in the health of your body also means discovering the optimal nutrition for you, ensuring effective and lasting control over your health

How is the visit with the nutritionist conducted?

The purpose of the dietary examination is to ascertain whether the person is in a state of malnutrition by excess or deficiency and to give a solution that can change this situation.

To arrive at the diagnosis, the specialist must assess the patient’s nutritional status through a series of targeted questions (history), blood tests, and any instrumental investigations.

In the history phase, the patient’s weight history is investigated. It is very important to know if the weight is constant or if there have been fluctuations due to dieting or unintentional causes.

If the patient is overweight or obese, the history should also note whether they have been on diets in the past and what results they have had.

A dietetics specialist in Castel Maggiore, Bologna knows that the traditional food of the Emilia-Romagna capital is an integral part of the local culture, so it becomes crucial to take into account the psychological side of each patient as well.

Through evaluation of blood chemistry tests and, if necessary, ultrasonography and other investigations (e.g., colonoscopy or gastroscopy), the specialist can detect pathologies or problems arising from diet.

The next step is to measure weight, height, and body mass index (abbreviated as BMI or BMI). In addition, waist circumference is measured in cases of overweight or obese people and arm circumference for those who are underweight.

These parameters will be compared at subsequent follow-up visits to determine the patient’s progress.

Body composition analysis at our medical center

In a modern diet center it is possible to do body composition analysis useful in identifying all the components of which the body is made, such as: fat mass, lean mass, metabolically active mass, water, bone, minerals.

This type of analysis is widely used to determine the subject’s overall health status or to identify risks due to high fat mass and monitor body composition during a course of therapy or when doing consistent workouts.

Generally, at least three basic parameters are evaluated:

FM (Fat Mass), the fat mass. The average reference value is 15 % of total body weight.

– FFM (Fat Free Mass), the lean mass. The average value is 85% of body weight. Lean mass concerns muscles, skeleton, organs, other lean tissues.

TBW (total body water), the total body water. Reference values are 60-62 percent of weight for men and 56-58 percent for women.
