Why hire a Registered Dietitian?
A dietitian is a
healthcare professional who is an expert in food and
nutrition, including promoting good health through
proper eating, weight control, and dietary management of
diseases such as diabetes. Dietitians also direct the
preparation and service of food, develop modified diets,
contribute to research, and educate individuals and
groups on healthy nutritional habits. Dietitians have an
extensive scientific background in nutrition, food,
physiology, and biochemistry, which is used in promoting
health, preventing disease, and providing counseling and
education.
A registered dietitian has received a four-year
college degree, has completed an internship accredited
by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics
Education (CADE), and has passed a registration exam by
the Credentialing Board of Dietetic Registration.
