March 11 is National Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day. Registered dietitian nutritionists are the most qualified to provide evidence-based nutrition advice backed by research and science, and are often referred to as "dietitians" who meet stringent requirements such as an undergraduate or graduate degree in nutrition and continuing education to maintain their credentials. They can create a customized nutrition plan based on your age, medical history, health conditions, and desired health goals. They also help people with chronic disease or health conditions such as prediabetes, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, gastrointestinal conditions, cancer, malnutrition, osteoporosis, eating disorders, and concerns about body image. Registered diets are respected across multiple industries and are hired to work in hospitals, clinics, public health, the food services, manufacturing, and restaurant industry, or to do nutrition research or teach at colleges and universities. They provide body composition analysis and education to help people who want to manage their weight, exercise, and help athletes understand their nutrition needs for specific sports performance.
