Healthy Eating
“Healthy Eating” refers to the practice of consuming a balanced diet that provides essential nutrients to the body for its optimal functioning. It involves choosing a variety of foods from different food groups, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy products, while minimizing intake of processed foods, saturated fats, sugars, and sodium. Healthy eating not only contributes to maintaining a normal body weight but also reduces the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
Hospice
Hospice is a specialized type of care focused on providing comfort, support, and symptom management for individuals facing terminal illnesses, rather than curative treatment. It encompasses a multidisciplinary approach that may include medical services, emotional support, spiritual resources, and social services, often delivered at home or in a home-like setting. The central aim of hospice care is to enhance the quality of life, uphold the patient’s dignity, and support the patient and their family during the end-of-life journey.
