Dietitics
Dietetics is the science of applying nutrition and food principles to promote health and manage various medical conditions. Dietitians are trained professionals who assess dietary needs, provide nutrition counseling, and develop personalized eating plans that support overall health. Good nutrition is essential not only for preventing illness but also for managing a range of health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and gastrointestinal disorders.
