      Dietetics is the science and practice of applying nutrition knowledge to improve health and prevent or treat diseases through diet. As a field, it encompasses the study of how food impacts the body, from the biochemical processes of digestion to the psychological aspects of eating habits. Dietitians, professionals in this field, assess nutritional needs, develop personalized nutrition plans, and provide education on food choices and lifestyle modifications to promote health, manage chronic conditions, or support recovery from illness. The profession requires a deep understanding of nutrients, food science, and human physiology, combined with skills in counseling and behavior change strategies. Dietetics not only focuses on individual health but also extends to public health nutrition, community food programs, and policy-making to address nutritional issues on a larger scale.
