Helping Others Eat Their Way to Good Health

I found and read this article in the text muet (Longman), this article tell us about career of a dietitian. A dietitian advises people as to suitable diets required for particular medical conditions or to improve their health. The patient's current dietary habits are assessed before educating and advising them on the types of food they should eat. The patient is then monitored and the dietary plan is changed according to the patient's change in condition. Dietary intervention is also implemented on overweight or underweight children. Career prospects in this area are in hospitals, in the food industry, in tertiary educational institutions or as freelance consultants. Having a pleasant personality and being a good listener are also required of dietitians.
