NUTRITION/DIETETICS

Like Hippocrates said "Health is the greatest of all human blessings". Improved nutrition and healthy lifestyle is therefore a necessity for any individual aspiring to lead a healthy and an active Life.

The ancient theory of nutrition dates back to the time of Aristotle and Galen. They considered nutrition as a vital part of health, disease, performance, and healing. The power in each part of the body is believed to be dependent on the blood flowing to that part. Deep knowledge in nutrition and dietetics involves understanding the intricate details of how nutrients interact with the body, the role of nutrition in preventing and managing diseases, and the application of evidence-based practices in dietary interventions. Nutrition and dietetics center on the science of food and its health implications. Dietitians use nutrition principles to enhance wellness, prevent illnesses, and manage medical conditions through customized dietary strategies. We evaluate individual requirements, considering factors such as age, health status, and lifestyle. Key elements include understanding nutrient functions, promoting health, and averting diseases. Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is tailored to address specific conditions for each client. The field draws from various disciplines like biochemistry and psychology. Research delves into areas such as food safety and global nutrition challenges.

I aim is to empower individuals to make informed dietary choices for optimal health. By offering education, personalized guidance, behavioral support, and ongoing encouragement, my goal is to empower individuals to make positive changes in their lifestyle habits, leading to improved health and a more active life.
