Dietetics

There are things that children/young people should do to live healthy and happy lives – healthy eating and healthy drinking contribute to this.

There is a lot of diet and nutritional advice in the media. Unfortunately not all of it is based on the most up-to-date scientific evidence.

Dietitians are the only qualified health professionals that provide assessment and advice about diet to prevent and improve health.

Studies have shown how changes to our diet can help prevent or control a variety of health problems for example obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
