Answer:

Nutritional therapy rationale for modified diets:

Dietary modifications are changes that are made during the preparation of food, processing and consumption to increase the bioavailability of micronutrients and decreasing the deficiency of micronutrients in food.

Some more strategies for dietary modifications are given below-

1. Germination, fermentation and soaking reduce the phytate content that can interfere with micronutrient absorption.

2. using germinated cereal floors containing amylase to increase the energy and density of nutrients of cereal based porridges.

These practices may improve the intake and absorption of micronutrients and help in the increasing immunity strength as well as reducing the incidences of anemia.
