Dietology

Dietology is a study of nutrition with respect to current and long-term state of health.

Dietology deals with rules of healthy diet, recommending the proportion and quantity of different nutrients. Observing these rules represents basic prevention, particularly in case of cardiovascular diseases.

Knowledge of the metabolism of basic nutrients and their metabolic cycles enable us to determine targeted dietologic measures concerning nutrition and life regimen for particular diseases, such as gout, osteoporosis or liver diseases.
