Nutrition and Dietetics focuses on the study of nutrition and its relationship with health and disease. It involves a deep scientific understanding of how different types of food are linked to various health conditions, and how dietary choices can shape long-term healthy or unhealthy habits.
This field aims to guide individuals toward improving their eating habits. Students study how food is digested, absorbed, and metabolized at different life stages, and they explore the effects of both nutrient deficiencies and excess intake in preventing and treating diseases.
