Once a year, a special day is dedicated to all dietitians across Canada. It celebrates dietitians as health care professionals, committed to using their specialized knowledge and skills in food and nutrition to improve the health of Canadians.
National Dietitians Day spotlights the profession and reminds us that dietitians are the smart choice for advice on proper eating, good nutrition and healthy living.
Dietitians Day also raises the profile of dietitians and helps encourage and attract others to this worthy, satisfying and respected profession.
Dietitians translate scientific research into practical solutions. They work with you to help you feel your best.
Dietitians can provide:
• Tips and healthy recipes to help you plan, shop for and cook healthy meals for your family;
• Information to help you interpret food labels, the latest food trends and diets;
• Support to improve your relationship with food;
• Customized meal plans to help you:
- manage your weight, food allergies and intolerances or digestive issues
- get the most from your workouts
- prevent and manage chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and
kidney disease;
• Individualized counselling on how to feed your baby, a “picky” eater, or an active teenager;
• Advice on whether you need a vitamin or mineral supplement based on your health needs.
