Types of Meals Prepared for Patients in Private Clinics

Private medical clinics and facilities offer patients a more individualized approach to both treatment and total care. One area where a private clinic can assist with a patient's overall well-being is through nutrition. Private clinics routinely satisfy the personal and medical dietary requirements and requests of patients. There are various meal choices for patients in a private clinic.

Vegetarian

• A vegetarian lifestyle and diet is a common dietary need of patients in private clinics. Clinics are well aware of the stout devotion that many vegetarians have to the lifestyle choice that they have made. Because of this, private clinics have a vegetarian option for meals prepared in the clinic. This meal choice does not include any meat or fish and there are even options for very strict vegetarians, such as vegans, where no dairy is used for the meal as well.

Kosher

• Kosher meals offered and prepared in a private clinic must meet kosher compliance requirements which deal primarily with how and where the food is prepared. Private clinics have the ability to prepare and thus offer kosher meals to guests that have religious beliefs that are in line with eating kosher.

Low Sodium

• Low sodium diets and meals and prepared ion private clinics for people that need to be on a sodium restricted diet for medical reasons. Sodium content is controlled by limiting certain items and excluding them from the meals prepared as low sodium. Items such as ketchup, chicken broth and bacon are all menu choices that are typically high in sodium, so for a low sodium meal those items would be removed and replaced with lower sodium alternatives.
