Chronic illnesses are among the most common diseases in the contemporary world.
These illnesses are long-term conditions, and most do not have a cure. As a result, the medical
fraternity has developed strategies for dealing with these illnesses by managing their symptoms
to allow patients to live with the illnesses comfortably. Maintaining a healthy diet and physical
therapy are two of the most effective strategies for managing chronic illnesses. The purpose of
the study is to review the literature on healthy dieting and physical therapy interventions for
chronically-ill patients in order to determine which is the better alternative. A healthy diet seems
a better alternative because it ensures that the immunity is strong to deal with the symptoms of
these illnesses. The Scripture also stresses the importance of a healthy diet as it states that people
should eat what is good and delight themselves in rich food (King James Bible, Isaiah 55:2).
Therefore, a healthy diet is necessary for everyone, including people with chronic illnesses.
A healthy diet improves the overall health of a person and reduces the risk of developing
chronic illnesses. Multiple studies have indicated that good nutrition is vital in managing chronic
illnesses (Kimokoti & Millen, 2017). Similarly, physical therapy, such as physical exercise, is
also effective in chronic illnesses management (Mak et al., 2017). However, a healthy diet is a
better alternative because it improves the overall health status of a person. Therefore, patients
with chronic illnesses should prioritize a healthy diet over physical therapy. Nevertheless, the
two interventions can be combined to manage chronic illnesses better and yield better outcomes.
A research study was conducted to identify reliable sources that address the research
question. The study entailed a search and analysis of different types of publications such as
systematic reviews, clinical practice guidelines, and clinically appraised research studies. These
publications were sourced from databases such as EBSCO, ProQuest, JSTOR, and PubMed.
These sources were evaluated to extract the information needed to answer the research question.

Literature Review Synthesis
Chronic illnesses are long-term conditions that usually have no cure. This means that
chronically-ill patients tend to live with their conditions for life. However, the illnesses can be
managed by treating the symptoms and enabling the patient to lead a normal life. The most
effective interventions for managing chronic illnesses include physical therapy and a healthy
diet. However, healthy eating is considered a better alternative than physical therapy in some
quarters, while physical therapy is preferred in others. As a result, multiple research studies have
been commissioned to determine whether maintaining a healthy diet is better than physical
therapy. According to the World Health Organization, a healthy diet is a combination of healthy
food that prevents malnutrition and other diet-related diseases and conditions (World Health
Organization, 2019). While the definition of a healthy diet by the World Health Organization
focuses on healthy food materials, Shlisky et al. (2017) believe that a healthy diet has a balanced
nutritional composition. Shlisky et al. (2017) categorize a diet as healthy if the food contains the
right nutrients and in the right amounts. Therefore, their definition varies but what is common is
that the food should improve the overall health of a person and not deteriorate it.
A Healthy Diet
Multiple studies have indicated that maintaining a healthy diet is an effective strategy of
managing the symptoms of chronic illnesses. Reynolds et al. (2018) and Shlisky et al. (2017)
argue that maintaining a healthy diet can help manage chronic illnesses. They note that a healthy
diet improves the patient’s ability to suppress the symptoms of chronic illnesses. Reynolds et al.

(2018) reiterate that self-management support through various activities that promote overall
health can be useful in managing chronic illnesses. The self-management support encompasses
many activities which are geared toward managing chronic illnesses. These activities include
proper nutrition and a healthy diet. A healthy diet gives the patient the required nutrients to
support vital body functions and fight infections. A chronically-ill patient who maintains a
healthy diet is likely to live more comfortably than a patient who maintains an unhealthy diet.
This is why researchers believe maintaining a healthy diet is a better alternative to physical
therapy for chronically-ill patients.
Biblical Integration
The Scripture advocates healthy living and eating. According to the Bible, people should
eat good and rich food (King James Bible, Isaiah 55:2). Additionally, the Bible instructs
believers to watch what they eat. (King James Bible, Romans 14:12). This means that people
should be careful when eating because nutrition affects their health and well-being. The choice
of food should be based on the richness of the food in terms of nutritional value. These Bible
teachings can be interpreted to mean that nutritionally-rich food is vital for the body’s vital
function and fight against diseases. Believers should consume food with the right nutritional
value to prevent malnutrition and diet-based diseases and conditions. The Scripture supports the
argument that chronically-ill patients would manage their symptoms better if they maintain a
healthy diet.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy involves activities that promote, maintain, improve, or restore physical
health. The chronically-ill patients can opt for physical therapy instead of healthy eating.

However, physical therapy does not appear to be more effective than maintaining a healthy diet
to manage the symptoms. According to Mak et al. (2017), physical therapy and physical
exercises are effective in achieving meaningful health improvements for patients with chronic
illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease. These physical activities improve the body’s strength,
muscle strength, walking ability, and gait performance. Similarly, Petricone-Westwood et al.
(2019) reiterate that psychotherapy is an effective intervention for reducing health anxiety in
chronically-ill patients. The psychotherapy activities described here are combined with physical
therapies to improve the overall health of chronically-ill patients. Therefore, Mak et al. (2017)
and Petricone-Westwood et al. (2019) seem to agree that physical therapy is essential when
managing chronic illnesses.
Conclusion
Physical therapy and a healthy diet are two major interventions for managing chronic
illnesses. Physical therapy improves the body’s strength, and a healthy diet ensures the body has
the right nutrients for vital functions and prevents infections. However, research indicates that
maintaining a healthy diet is better than physical therapy in managing the symptoms.
Chronically-ill patients who maintain a healthy diet enjoy more benefits than those who engage
in physical therapy. However, the two interventions can be combined to improve the patient’s
overall health status and the body’s readiness to manage the symptoms of chronic illnesses.
