What is a nutritionist? What is the difference between a nutritionist and a dietician?

Nutrition is the science of food. Professionals in this field study the problems of food intake, food composition, consumption, absorption, and excretion of nutrients from the body.

Nutritionists do not necessarily need to be graduates of medical school. This specialist does not treat diseases. What a nutritionist does: gives a person basic knowledge about which foods are healthy, how to combine foods, and what is a healthy diet.

The science of nutrition does not focus on treating symptoms, but rather on eliminating the cause of the disease. 

The services of a nutritionist are necessary for:

  • People with gastrointestinal problems that do not require treatment. The specialist corrects the menu.

  • Busy people who do not have time to eat well and skip meals. The specialist develops a balanced diet that is easy to follow.

  • People who want to lose weight. The nutritionist analyzes the client's current diet and explains the basics of healthy eating. The specialist explains why you need to pay attention to your intake of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, and develops a menu for healthy weight loss.

Dietetics is a field of knowledge that studies the problems of nutrition, including in a sick person. It is aimed at ensuring the safety, rationalization, and individualization of food products.

Dieticians continue to explain to people the importance of healthy and balanced eating. Because food is the most important factor in forming a healthy body.

The goal of dietetics is to:

  • The goal of dietetics is to:

  • Restore the body

  • Quickly recover patients after illness

  • Correct weight

The main similarity between dietetics and nutrition is the study of human nutrition and its focus on improving health. However, specialists in these fields look at treatment from different angles.

Dietetics is a broader discipline than nutrition. The scope of work is not only human nutrition, but also the processes of food absorption. не только питание человека, но и процессы усвоения продуктов.

Although dietitians and nutritionists play an important role in improving diet and human health, they typically work in very different settings.

Dieticians can work as doctors, department heads, in medical institutions, or open a private practice. They can also work in the healthcare, science, and education sectors.

On the other hand, nutritionists work in commercial conditions. They can work in fitness centers or conduct personal consultations and work for themselves.
