Overview
Nutrition and Dietetics is the science of how food and nutrients affect human health, growth, and disease prevention. It involves assessing individual dietary needs and developing personalized nutrition plans to promote well-being. Dietitians apply evidence-based knowledge to manage health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and digestive disorders. The field emphasizes the importance of balanced eating, nutritional education, and sustainable food choices. Ultimately, it aims to improve quality of life through optimal nutrition and healthy lifestyle practices.
What is a diet?
It is a healthy nutrition program prepared specifically for you by professional dietitians according to your body type and needs, so that you do not risk your health by consuming more or less of the foods you consume in daily life. In general, after your ideal weight is determined by calculating your body mass index according to gender, age and weight criteria, a diet list is created for you to consume the nutrients you need. Your dietitian may request different tests and analyzes when deemed necessary.
At this point, when meeting with your dietitian, it would be useful to specify the foods that you can never give up eating. While indispensable foods are added to your diet list, some foods are removed from the list so that you can have a correct and balanced diet, thus ensuring a healthy diet. Contrary to popular belief, dieting is not about starving, but about having a healthy body by eating constantly and balancedly with intermediate foods.
