Dietician

What is a dietician?

An accredited dietician is a university-qualified professional trained to assess nutritional needs, design meal plans, and help patients to manage health conditions through diet and nutrition.

All bodies are different, and most individuals can benefit from visiting a dietician. However, if you are chasing a particular goal or aspiration or suffer from a specific condition that may improve from dietary changes, you may like to make visiting a dietician a priority.

Why is nutrition so important for health?

Your body requires nutrients to thrive and function properly. The food we eat helps our body successfully complete a whole variety of day-to-day duties, including growth, cell repair, and cell rejuvenation.

If adequate nutrition is vital to maintaining good health and preventing disease, what happens when we don’t get the nutrients we need?

A poor diet that lacks the required vitamins and minerals can result in a number of unwanted conditions, including:

  • Type II diabetes

  • Metabolic syndrome

  • Obesity

  • Heart disease

  • Cardiovascular disease

  • Stroke

  • Some cancers
