Nutrition Care

One of the important factors that make a person healthy is to get nutrients appropriately according to age
if there is an imbalance of nutrients entering the body (too much or too little). It can cause diseases and other complications
that follow later. People who have good habits and know how to choose nutritious foods have a reduced risk
of developing various chronic diseases. Choosing the right diet for the body’s condition will reduce the severity of diseases and
complications and help the body to recover and function normally or close to normal.

Proper nutrition begins with fertilization or nutrition in the early stages of life. The first day”
Because the brain has been developing continuously from the time it is in the womb until the age of 2.
Therefore, malnutrition that occurs during this period has an impact on the function and development of the brain, as well as the functioning of various systems
in the body. Our children and grandchildren should receive proper nutritional care from birth, which will
ensure proper growth. It can develop according to age, helping to prevent various diseases that may occur with age
, such as obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Heart disease, etc.

There are two types of nutrient deficiencies:

• macronutrients and micronutrients
• The nutrients needed in small quantities include vitamins and minerals.

Macronutrients are substances that provide energy. It has important functions for the structure of the body, including bones and muscles, enzymes or gastric juice. Immunomodulators The transport of various substances The required nutrients in small quantities play a very important role because the process of formation and breakdown in the body using macronutrients is used. It is necessary to use the required nutrients in small quantities as a cofactor in order for the body to be able to use the products from the process well and appropriately.

If the body receives enough macronutrients but does not get enough of the nutrients it needs, it can
cause problems or diseases, for example, if you consume a large amount of carbohydrates (rice, starch) but do not
get enough vitamin B1. It causes beriberi, which can be severe to heart attack. Exposure to large amounts of long-chain polyunsaturated fats (such as
omega-3 groups, etc.) with too little vitamin E intake It has the effect of
increasing oxidative stress, etc.

In addition, the imbalance of nutrients received by the body causes negative effects on the body, such as excessive intake of
protein, which can cause acidosis which can affect bones and the excretion of calcium in the urine, etc.

The incidence of overweight and obesity has increased rapidly
compared to 5 years ago. Most or almost all of the major causes are consuming more high-energy foods and
exercising less, overweight and obesity not only lead to poor shape, but also cause complications such as insulin resistance (which can lead to diabetes in the future). Sleep apnea (sleep apnea, which reduces
oxygen supply to the brain) high blood lipids (which are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease) Abnormal lung
and heart function, hepatitis caused by fat deposits in the liver. Joint pain problems and psychological problems. People who are overweight and obese need to be diagnosed and treated properly. especially Obese
and growing children and adolescents who should be taken care of to control their weight to be proportionate and grow according to their age.

Those who should be taken care of nutrition and diet
should take care of nutrition and diet should do in everyone. All genders, all ages. Regular nutrition contributes to
good health. Reducing the risk of developing various diseases as already mentioned. Good nutrition starts from fertilization.

Treatment of diseases is the treatment of the “root cause” of some diseases caused by
malnutrition or related to consumption, such as diabetes and carbohydrate intake. Hypertension and
salt intake Cardiovascular disease and the intake of certain types of fats, osteoporosis or thin bones with calcium content, etc. However, when an illness has occurred, Nutritional care, also known as nutrition therapy, plays an important role in recovery. Reducing the severity of complications from the disease and may help to recover from the illness.

People with medical conditions such as:

• diabetes
• High blood pressure, kidney disease.
• High blood lipids, cardiovascular diseases.
• Liver disease
