Nutrition Consulting
What is it?
Nutrition is the science of food. The nutrients present
in food are used by your body as a source of energy and as a building
material. Nutrition can teach you about food digestion, nutrient absorption
and elimination.
During a consultation, a Registered Nutritionist will
asses the nutritional level of your personal food intake (including the
nutrient content, amount of food and food combination) and help you to plan
a healthy diet. She will also stress importance of fluids in your diet and the
effect of fluids on your physical and mental health.
The consultation will also teach you about food
additives and how to use the information provided on food labels to
identify, critique and evaluate food products for nutritional value. You
will be provided with instructions about proper storage of food to preserve
the majority of nutrients and how to shop wisely and economically to obtain
proper food.
During a consultation you will learn how to change your
nutrient content in order to improve your health and prevent disease.
What does it do?
A consultation with a Registered Nutritionist will give
you the information you need to know what to eat and how to combine food to
