• Diet therapy, a biologically based practice, uses specialized dietary regimens (such as the macrobiotic, Paleo, Mediterranean, and low carbohydrate diets) to

    Treat or prevent a specific disease (such as cancer or cardiovascular disorders)
    Generally promote wellness
    Detoxify the body (by neutralizing or eliminating toxins from the body)

    Some diets (such as the Mediterranean diet) are widely accepted and encouraged in traditional Western medicine.
    When beginning a therapeutic diet that involves a dramatically different way of eating, people should ask an expert to advise them so that they can avoid nutritional deficiencies. Dietary science and understanding is constantly evolving and should be revisited frequently with a healthcare or nutrition professional.
