JAMMU, Jan 30: A dietitian clinic by Dr Keshav Kumar was inaugurated at Chanchal Chemist and Druggist, Talab Tillo (Jammu) to provide a holistic health and dietary consultation service to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Clinic was inaugurated by the world-famous Neuro-physician Dr Sushil Razdan. During the inauguration, Dr Razdan emphasized the need for dietary counseling for both clinical and non-clinical populations. “With the rising trend of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease in our country, there is an immense need for professionally qualified dietitians and health practitioners to help guide people towards a healthy and fit lifestyle”, said Dr Razdan.
Dt Keshav Kumar holds a Master’s in Dieticias. He has an experience of over 8 years in consulting clients and designing individualized solutions for weight management, sports and fitness nutrition. In his practice, he has noticed a growing trend of decreased water intake, increased consumption of highly processed hyper-palatable foods and limited physical activity. As a result, there has been an alarming increase in the incidence of lifestyle-related health issues including abdominal obesity, decreased metabolic rate, and poor stress management among young adults.
The dietitian’s clinic will provide lifestyle management and diet planning services for patients with non-communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, high uric acid, gout, fatty liver, certain cancers, nutritional deficiencies, weakness, food intolerances, food mal-absorption, gut health and specialized diets. In addition, the clinic will also provide special services for sports and fitness athletes with nutrition counseling, food management and diet plans.
