In the “good old days”, proper eating didn’t seem so complicated. But due to the advancements of modern technology and science, eating smart isn’t so simple. Between the numerous scientific studies proving a link between nutrition and disease, and the media bombarding us with nutrition facts and fallacies, it is no wonder people are confused about the foods they eat. This is where a Registered Dietitian can help make sense of it all! Many people think dietitians can only help people lose weight. That is only one of the many things dietitians can do! If you have high blood pressure, a dietitian can tell you ways to reduce sodium in your diet. If you’re genetically predisposed to illnesses such as cancer and osteoporosis, you might consult a dietitian to find out how to lower your risk by changing your eating habits. If you have diabetes, a dietitian can teach you how to count carbohydrates. Finally, you may not have any health problems but you would like to improve your diet to increase your energy level and optimize your nutrient intake-then a dietitian is for you!
