nutrition and dietetics
Department of Nutrition & Dietetics
Nutrition and dietetics are two essential concepts that go hand in hand when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition involves the study of how food affects our bodies and health, while dietetics is the application of nutrition principles to create individualized meal plans. Together, they form the foundation for promoting overall wellness.
One of the primary benefits of proper nutrition and dietetics is disease prevention. A well-balanced diet can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. It can also improve mental health by reducing stress levels and promoting better sleep patterns. Additionally, a healthy diet can improve physical performance and help individuals maintain their ideal weight. However, proper nutrition doesn't have to be complicated or restrictive. Simple changes such as increasing fruit and vegetable intake, choosing lean proteins, and limiting processed foods can make a significant impact on overall health.
