What if I have specific nutrition questions
that cannot be answered by The Food Guide Pyramid? Who do
I ask?
A registered dietician/nutritionist can
separate facts from fads, and healthy meals from unhealthy.
He or she knows how to translate the latest scientific facts
into easy to understand nutrition information, and can help
design a diet tailored to your specific needs.
What areas of nutrition should I be concerned
about?
Weight control is an important issue. Already
noted, obesity has been linked to many health areas including
heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and possibly
arthritis. A consultation with a registered dietician can
help you make changes specific to your own lifestyle and create
a nutrition program just for you.
What other areas can be covered during a nutritional
consultation?
Food allergies, cardiovascular disease,
hypertension, diabetes, sports nutrition, vegetarian diets,
general nutrition and good health. Your registered dietician/nutritionist
has the most up-to-date information on the recommendation
for healthy eating.
Whether you have a specific objective, such
as losing weight or reducing high blood pressure, or simply
looking for ways to stay fit and healthy, get nutrition counseling
from you nutrition expert and begin a more complete healthy
lifestyle today.
