Food

Proper nutrition is an integral part of sanatorium-resort treatment and is even distinguished into a special type of it - diet therapy. It is based on the theory of balanced nutrition. According to it, food should contain the optimal amount of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, trace elements, vitamins, minerals and other substances. In addition, the calorie content of food, its temperature, volume and consistency are carefully selected. No less important is the eating regimen, which should be combined with the healing effect of therapeutic procedures and drinking water. Food is a source of strength, health and vigor.

Nutrition in the sanatorium "Thermal Star" is carried out according to a two-week menu, which is formed based on the characteristics of dietary rations for different groups of patients. That is why the basis for organizing nutrition was taken as a line of rations, each of which takes into account the needs of different groups of patients. According to the latest recommendations of modern nutritionists for sanatorium-resort institutions, 5 universal diets (rations) are proposed.

Dietary ration 1 (unground version) is prescribed for chronic hyperacid gastritis, peptic ulcer, chronic pancreatitis (combines Pevzner tables 1 and 5p). The goal is to normalize the secretory and motor function of the stomach, duodenum and pancreas, prevent fatty infiltration of the pancreas. The diet consists of vegetarian diet soups, low-fat varieties of meat or fish boiled or steamed, fermented milk products, butter, oil, vegetables, fruits, white bread baked yesterday. Fried, spicy, salty dishes are not allowed, very cold and hot dishes are excluded.

Diet 2 prescribed for hypoacid gastritis, enteritis, colitis. Chronic cholecystitis, hepatitis, biliary dyskinesia (combines Pevzner tables 2,3 and 5). The goal is to normalize the secretion of digestive secretions, stimulate the secretory and motor functions of the digestive system, prevent bile stagnation. A diet rich in vegetables and fruits, boiled or stewed fish, meat, in moderation, cereals (except pearl barley, corn and millet), eggs, fermented milk products, unsalted cheeses. Spicy seasonings, spices, smoked meats, marinades, mushroom, meat and fish broths are not recommended. Radish, radish, sorrel.

Diet 3 is prescribed for metabolic disorders, in particular diabetes mellitus and obesity (combines Pevzner tables 8, 9 and 14). The goal is to normalize carbohydrate metabolism, stimulate metabolic processes, and prevent disorders of fat metabolism. The principle of diet therapy is to reduce the total energy value of the diet mainly by limiting carbohydrates and fats, with a slight increase in the content of protein foods. The diet includes meat, fish, cheeses, eggs, low-fat dairy products, berries, fruits (except bananas and grapes), vegetables. Carbohydrates are sharply limited: sweets, pastries, rice cereals, semolina, pasta, potatoes.

Diet 4 It is prescribed for diseases of the cardiovascular system, kidneys, gout (combines Pevzner tables 6, 7 and 10). The goal is to normalize blood circulation, increase the detoxification and water-excreting function of the kidneys, improve the excretion of nitrogenous purines and other metabolic products. The diet includes dairy products, vegetables (except spinach, sorrel, radishes, radishes), fruits, cereals, moderate protein restriction (boiled meat, fish). Significant restriction of salt, extractives, smoked meats, marinades and pickles, legumes, spicy dishes, liver, kidneys, mushrooms.

Diet 5 is prescribed to patients who do not require special dietary nutrition (Pevzner table 15). The goal is to provide a complete healthy diet in a sanatorium setting.

Nutrition for patients suffering from low acidity

For patients with low acidity, chronic cholecystitis and other diseases, a diet has been developed that takes into account the characteristics of their health. The products and dishes in it are selected so that the diet promotes bile secretion, as well as activation of the work of the gastric glands. A diet rich in vegetables and fruits is designed to normalize liver function and have a moderate effect on intestinal function. Its goals are to prevent bile stagnation, stimulate the motor and secretory activity of the stomach.

Nutrition for patients with endocrine disorders

For patients suffering from diabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders, a diet containing dishes from lean meat and fish, unsalted and mild cheeses is prescribed. In such a diet, the amount of carbohydrates is limited, due to the reduction of sugar and confectionery consumption. The diet is designed to have a beneficial effect on metabolism, to prevent disorders of fat and carbohydrate metabolism.

Nutrition of patients with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular and genitourinary systems

To improve blood circulation, heart and kidney function, reduce edema and hypertension, a diet is prescribed, which limits the content of table salt and extractive substances. The diet is characterized by a relatively high calorie content, a small amount of fluids, such food is rich in vegetables, fruits, dairy products. Since the diet is prescribed to patients suffering from bone and joint diseases, the dishes included in it contain an increased concentration of trace elements and lipotropic substances.
