What is Nutrition?

Nutrition as a discipline is the study of nutrients found in human food, how the body uses these nutrients, and the relationship between health, diet, and ailments. The kind of food we eat is connected to our health and has the ability to fight diseases. CARESPACE Registered Dietitians are trained professionals using evidence-based methods to work with you to achieve your goals with long-lasting sustainable results. Dietitians use their knowledge of food, biology, biochemistry, and genetics to decipher how nutrients influence the human body.

Dietitians educate and counsel individuals on how their food and nutrient choices can be optimized to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases. For certain ailments, proper nutrition can hasten the healing process by limiting the intake of harmful foods and increasing the intake of helpful portions. Basically, nutrition comprises proteins, carbs, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water. The human body requires a balance of these elements as an imbalance could lead to a decline in your health and wellbeing.
