Tufts Nutrition and Wellness Centre

"Wellness is more than just the absence of disease"

The new Tufts/RAK Center for Enhanced Nutrition and Wellness will operate on the principle that wellness is more than just the absence of disease. Evidence based state-of-the-art science will form foundations for interventions to improve wellness, and prevent or ameliorate disease throughout the lifecycle.

For those who desire to optimize their health at any age while enhancing their sense of well-being and productivity, the new Center will offer a combination of services that will make RAK a visible leader in the region in the delivery of nutrition and lifestyle medicine.

Services at the Tufts/RAK Center for Enhanced Nutrition and Wellness will feature comprehensive assessment of individual's nutrition, physical activity, health status and the lifestyle factors that contribute to wellness, leading to a comprehensive treatment plan.

This unique individualized nutrition and wellness approach will be based on state-of-the-art research and clinical practice derived from the expertise of Tufts University medical and nutrition faculty. This program is expected to be launched in early 2009.
