Meals
A healthy diet is one of the main factors that sustains and recovers health. Therefore, at Dumbrava Health Center we carefully select the ingredients we use for cooking. Some of them come right from our farm, in order to be sure you get the best. We offer a plant-based diet, sufficiently varied to meet the nutritional needs of your body.
We observe strict nutritional principles when cooking, both for prevention and treatment. Therefore we will create special menus for diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, autoimmune diseases, obesity, respiratory affections, etc. Additionally, we can also offer special diets (gluten-free, low-salt, allergy-related needs, etc.). Just mention this to one of our colleagues in the registration department and we will do our best to prepare whatever is necessary to meet your needs!
And one more thing: it is our wish that the food served here should be tasty, so that you feel how delicious it is to live a healthy lifestyle.
