What a registered dietitian can do for you
The role of nutrition in health promotion and disease prevention is well known. From the very start, nutrition plays an integral role in growth and development. As we continue to grow nutrition impacts our lives in many ways – energy level, sleep, performance (academic and athletic), stamina, weight, and the list goes on…
The foods that we eat are the fuel for our body and directly affect overall health status.
A healthy diet reduces the risk of chronic diseases, including obesity and is associated with increased longevity, lower risk of heart disease, type two diabetes and certain cancers.
