Disease-specific nutrition tailors dietary interventions to address the unique needs associated with various health conditions, ranging from cancer to inflammatory diseases and cardiovascular ailments. For example, cancer patients may require high-protein, high-calorie diets to prevent muscle wasting, while patients with inflammatory conditions like arthritis benefit from anti-inflammatory diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Nutritional strategies are developed to meet the metabolic demands of each disease, supporting better patient outcomes. Research in this field is extensive, exploring the benefits of bioactive compounds, antioxidants, and specific nutrients that can impact disease progression, reduce inflammation, and improve immune function. Disease-specific nutrition often involves a personalized approach, ensuring that each patient receives a diet plan that aligns with their disease requirements, potentially aiding in symptom management, slowing disease progression, and enhancing quality of life.
