What Is Dietetics
​
Dietetics is a field of healthcare focused on the role of nutrition in health. While some people might underestimate the importance of diet, dietitians understand its critical impact on overall well-being. Dietitians are experts in food and nutrition who help individuals manage their health through proper dietary habits. They work with patients to create personalized nutrition plans that support overall well-being, manage chronic diseases, and promote healthy lifestyles. In Singapore, dietitians play a crucial role in preventing and managing various health conditions through diet and nutrition education.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
When Should You Visit A Dietitian
​
Visiting a dietitian can be beneficial for various health and wellness goals. Here are some conditions where a dietitian can provide valuable assistance:
​
1. Chronic Conditions (Eg. Diabetes)
Patients with diabetes require careful management of their diet to control blood sugar levels. Dietitians help by creating meal plans that balance carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to maintain stable glucose levels, prevent complications, and promote overall health.
​
2. Gastrointestinal Disorders
Dietitians assist in managing conditions like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Crohn's disease, and celiac disease by recommending specific dietary adjustments that alleviate symptoms and promote gut health. They can suggest appropriate food choices, supplements, and eating habits that support digestive health.
​
3. Weight Management
Managing weight through proper nutrition is essential for individuals dealing with obesity. Dietitians develop personalized weight loss plans that focus on balanced diets, portion control, and healthy eating habits, helping patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
​
4. Journeying Through Various Life Stages
During pregnancy, childhood, and ageing, nutritional needs change significantly. Dietitians optimize nutrition for each life stage, ensuring pregnant women, children, and older adults receive essential nutrients for growth, development, and overall well-being.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
