INTRODUCTION
Nutrition refers to the biochemical along with physiological process which are effective and

nutritional analysis and plan that can help in getting better care. There is discussion about the
revised treatment aim, dietary analysis along with discussion. There is also discussion about
nutritional prescription that can allow to improve John health and fulfil the nutritional need and

reduce the impact of yellow food which include potatoes and others (Ahmed et. al., (2021)).
Through reducing the intake of yellow food, it can lead to create a high impact on reducing the
case of liver and gall bladder disorder. There is need to ensure about uptake of effective

lentils, sweet potato, wholemeal biscuit, almond, dried apricot, banana, popcorn, apple and
others. There is need to make some improvement in the diet which can help to take care of the

improve better and effective response towards dealing with better care and help in maintaining

nutritional food can help to feel refreshed after getting off from sleep (Arshi et. al., (2021)).

There is recommendation that John should take care of nutritional intake which include the
Avocados, bananas, Broccoli, pumpkin seeds, spinach, Dark chocolate which can be effective in
reducing the stress and enable John to feel refreshed after the sleep. To dealt with the GORD,
John should intake of ginger, oatmeal, egg whites, healthy fats, lean meats and seafood. John

be most effective medical therapy which are effective for the GERD. This can work through
blocking the mechanism which produces stomach acid. Through this, it lowers the acidity and
have better digestive fluids which involves reflux and reduce related symptoms.
There is need to get some medication which can lead to create high impact on delivery of better
and effective response. This medication includes SSRIs like paroxetine, fluoxetine, citalopram.
