GlossaryDietary Changes

intentional alteration of eating habits to improve health

Dietary changes, also known as diet modification or nutritional changes, refer to the intentional alteration of one's eating habits to improve health, manage medical conditions, or achieve specific wellness goals. These changes can include adjusting the types and quantities of food consumed, incorporating or eliminating certain nutrients, and modifying meal timing and frequency. For example, someone might increase their intake of fruits and vegetables to boost nutrient intake or reduce sugar and fat consumption to manage weight and blood sugar levels.
