Nutrition / Dietetics |
|
Nutrition is an important component of health. Dietary changes can reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and other metabolic disorders.
Dieticians specialize in the link between health and nutrition. Dietitians develop nutrition plans for people struggling with disease and other health problems. They often design preventative health nutrition plans.
Dieticians often organize public awareness campaigns about the importance of nutrition. Many consult with food companies that produce healthy food.
Dieticians often work with specific groups of people, such as children and the elderly. The following are typical job duties of dieticians:
- Developing nutritional plans for people with diabetes or weight problems
- Overseeing nutrition programs for correctional facilities, schools, hospitals, and other facilities
- Organizing public awareness campaigns about nutrition
- Enhancing accuracy on food labels
- Making sure food is safe
- Conducting research
- Consulting food producers attempting to improve the nutritional value of their products
Increased public concern about nutrition and the quality of food has spurred demand for dieticians and other nutritional experts. Additionally, the aging baby boomer population will rely heavily upon dieticians in the upcoming years.
