Restricted

Restricted (pronunciation: /rɪˈstrɪktɪd/) is a term used in various fields of medicine to denote a limitation or constraint. The term originates from the Latin word "restrictus", which means "drawn back, tightened".

In Medicine

In the medical field, the term "restricted" is often used to describe a condition or situation where certain actions, behaviors, or substances are limited or controlled. This can apply to a wide range of scenarios, from restricted diets for patients with certain health conditions, to restricted movement in patients with physical injuries or disabilities.

Restricted Diet

A restricted diet is a diet that limits or eliminates certain foods or food groups. This can be due to allergies, intolerances, or specific health conditions. For example, a person with celiac disease would have a gluten-restricted diet.
