Nutritional support refers to the assistance provided to individuals who may have difficulty meeting their dietary needs due to illness, surgery, or other health conditions. This support can come in various forms, including specialized diets, supplements, or enteral feeding, which delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or intestines. Healthcare professionals, such as dietitians and nutritionists, often assess a person's nutritional status and create tailored plans to ensure they receive the necessary vitamins, minerals, and calories. Proper nutritional support can help improve recovery, enhance overall health, and maintain quality of life for those in need.
