DIETICIAN VS NUTRITIONIST<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dietitians are trained professionals who\u00a0promote nutritional well-being and treat medical conditions\u00a0through medical nutrition therapy. They often work with people diagnosed with chronic diseases and suggest dietary changes. For example, a dietitian may design a comprehensive meal plan for someone with diabetes, high cholesterol or obesity to manage their condition better.<\/div>

Nutritionists, on the other hand, are focused on\u00a0promoting healthy eating habits and a balanced lifestyle. They do not treat individuals suffering from illnesses (e.g. diabetics, people with high blood pressure). Instead, they work exclusively with healthy individuals who are seeking to improve their nutrition intake and lifestyle by making better choices about the food they eat.<\/p><\/div>

In many parts of the world,\u00a0dietitians are heavily regulated, where you need to meet specific professional requirements and register with the relevant body in order to call yourself a dietitian. You may even need to pass an exam and hold a licence before practising as a dietitian. This is because the field of dietetics is medical and diagnostic (identifying illnesses and diseases) in nature.<\/p>

On the other hand,\u00a0nutritionists are often not regulated by law\u00a0and anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. This can make it hard to distinguish between those who have proper qualifications and those who are self-taught or without genuine qualifications. As such, certain countries have introduced the term \u201cregistered nutritionist\u201d, where those with a recognised degree in nutrition science can register with nutrition associations.<\/p><\/div>

In the later years,\u00a0nutrition students will delve deeper into nutrition modules, learning nutrition programme planning and assessment, nutrition education and promotion as well as nutrition for sports and physical activity.<\/p>

In contrast,\u00a0dietetics students take on more medical-related subjects, such as clinical biochemistry, medical nutrition therapy and therapeutic diet preparation. In addition, dietetics students are required to take on\u00a03 types of industrial placements\u00a0\u2014 one clinical placement, one community dietetics placement and one related to food service.<\/p><\/div>

Dietitians usually work in medical settings, such as hospitals\u00a0and health clinics\u00a0where they conduct nutritional assessments on patients and prescribe dietary changes to better manage and treat their diseases. Sometimes, their roles may expand to pharmacies, insurance companies\u00a0and other areas in the healthcare industry.<\/p>

In contrast,\u00a0nutritionists are often found in commercial settings, such as fitness and wellness centres as well as\u00a0nutritional supplement companies\u00a0where they provide dietary consultations and formulate meal plans for clients. Other workplaces include health food restaurants\u00a0and large corporations with in-house cafeterias\u00a0where nutritionists develop healthy food menus.\u00a0In addition, you may also find them working in governmental agencies\u00a0to educate the general public on the importance of a well-balanced lifestyle.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When most people think of the word diet, it implies restrictions. Being on a diet means reducing or eliminating certain things from your daily life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

The best way to define diet is that it is the food that a person habitually eats. Looking at diet as a noun and not as a verb is a good way to redefine what diet is. Whether a person makes good or bad choices, these things make up their diet. The overall goal is to get people to choose the healthiest options that will improve their wellbeing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Diet and nutrition need to work together for people to improve their health and their lives.

    Good nutrition differs from diet, for it refers to the quality of the food itself. Nutrition is food that our bodies need to consume daily for our bodies to function optimally. This includes complex carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and fibre.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    We need these foods in a balanced quantity and ideally, from the cleanest sources possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t

    As a general guide, balanced nutrition for the day should comprise of:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
    • 30% protein<\/li>
    • 40% complex carbohydrates<\/li>
    • 30% essential healthy fats (ideally omega-3 fatty acids)<\/li>
    • 2-4 litres of water<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Proper nutrition should also consist of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants. A few ideal food choices include dark leafy greens, whole grains, sweet potatoes, raw nuts, seeds, salmon, berries, oats, and avocado. When it comes to good nutrition, these examples give consumers the best bang for their buck.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Balanced nutrition is critical at all stages of life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
