The Business of Nutrition

There's a lot to be said about studying and working in the nutrition field. But, I will keep it brief:

Nutrition counseling varies greatly from professional to professional and this is one summary of the differences: http://www.quackwatch.com/04ConsumerEducation/nutritionist.html

What we choose to put into our bodies, which is mostly nutrients such as water, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals, effect various aspects of our bodies. What we eat can interact with medications we take both positively or negatively. How we eat can be the difference between losing, maintaining, or gaining weight. What we eat can be the difference between having an allergic reaction or an upset stomach and not having these issues. Nutrient deficiencies or excesses can contribute to health conditions and even how you feel.

It's easy to see why nutrition plays such a large role in our overall health.

As students of nutrition, we are on a journey of knowledge and we would love to share tid bits of that information with you. We might share recent news articles, book reviews, or simply definitions or tips that could impact what and how you choose to eat.

Because this blog is comprised of authors who are either students, interns, or professionals in the field of nutrition and/or dietetics, blog posts are intended to be professional, scholarly, and credible by providing works cited when appropriate.

We look forward to sharing this journey with you!
