Dietetics
What is Dietetics?
Dietitians provide expert nutrition and diet advice supporting people to improve their health.
They provide guidance about how to appropriately manage diets and nutrition for people who may be affected by a range of health conditions and food allergies. A dietitian can help people maintain their health and reduce their risk of developing chronic disease.
Dietitians help people to understand the relationship between food and health. They also help people change their diet so that they can become healthier, and stay healthy.
