आहार की संगति में परिवर्तन
In this Class 12 Home Science topic from Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics, students learn how changing the consistency of food can support people with different medical and nutritional needs. The topic introduces forms such as clear liquids, full liquids, soft foods and regular diets, and explains how texture, thickness and ease of swallowing affect meal planning. Students also consider suitable food choices, preparation methods and gradual progression between diet consistencies while maintaining adequate nutrition, safety and acceptability.
