Food is the fuel for life and thus always a part of life, therefore, as life and health status changes, so should one’s diet. It is time to stop associating the word diet with weight-loss, when in actual fact, any pattern of eating is termed a ‘diet’. Unfortunately, what the media tells us about diet is aimed at everyone, yet no two individuals are the same.

As diet plays a role in most stages of life and disease, the dietician therefore has a major role to play in both. Since health is a lifelong concern, diet can never be an easy fix, and should therefore rather be a lifestyle change appropriate for each individual. As dieticians, we can assist you in ‘’bringing the balance back” into your lifestyle.

In the words of Hippocrates, “The wise man should consider health as the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine.”
