Why to visit a dietitian if not needed weight loss?

It’s a very common thing that we only visit dietitian when we are in need of weight loss or if some doctor recommends us to visit in some medical need……. It is not a god practice because health is a matter of management slowly & steadily for a life time. In proper health management diet & life style plays a major role & it is a preventive way to avoid many health & disease related complications.

So visiting a dietitian is recommended to improve the diet pattern & life style not only for weight loss.

With their help we can use our food as medicine not medicine as our food.

  So here are some major points why to visit them frequently

1.    Know Your Combination-

Every food & the combinations works differently for different people & for different problems. Some time different combinations of food hinders the absorption of nutrients present in them like caffeine hinders the absorption of iron & calcium, it is best absorbed with combination with Vita c. So the dietitian will help u to choose the better combinations.

2.    Correct Quantity-

How much & how many times is also a major issue. No food is good or bad, correct amount & combination can do wonders, for this dietitian can advice  the same according to our BMI, life style, major & minor health problems & many more things.

3.    Nutrient Requirement at Different Stages of Life Cycle & Their Correct Sources-

Nutrient quantity varies at different phases of life cycles like at childhood, adolescence, pregnancy, lactation, menopause, etc. for that the quantity & quality of foods are also different & for best result we can take the help of a dietitian. She can also   tell you about the good & easily available sources of different sources needed by our body.

4.    Food at Therapeutic [Medical] Condition-

Medical problems are not always needed to consult doctors, sometime problems like acidity, gas, pre diabetic stage etc. can be cured only with little changes in diet & life style without any medication & it can be only advised by the dietitian.

5.    Cooking Procedure & Seasonal Variation-

Cooking procedure & seasonal variation in food is very necessary for maintaining good health. A dietitian can guide how to cook food for its maximum benefits & seasonal availability of foods [fruits/grain/ vegetables].

     It’s always advisable to visit dietitian at least once in six month for better nutrition & good health & prevent many things before hand.

PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE…
