What is a dietitian?
Dietitians are professionals engaged in food selection, recipe preparation, nutrition guidance, nutrition and food safety knowledge dissemination, nutrition and health education, and promotion of national health.
The number and quality of dietitians reflect the degree of socio-economic development of a country and the quality of life of its inhabitants. China is in a period of transition in dietary and disease patterns, and it is urgent to establish a professional team of dietitians in order to scientifically and effectively guide the dietary nutrition work of residents.
Why you need a dietitian
Environment: There is a serious shortage of talents related to nutrition and health management in China, and the improvement of people's health concepts and health care awareness requires a large number of nutritionists to provide theoretical and practical guidance to meet people's daily health needs. Health managers can focus more on deep health management.
The incidence of chronic diseases has gradually shown a trend of rejuvenation, and everyone needs nutrition and health care management.
The elderly, pregnant women and adolescents especially need nutritional conditioning, and more professional dietitians are needed to improve the physical fitness of the whole people. Hospitals and communities will set up health management centers, and there is a shortage of professional nutritionists and health managers.
With the continuous development of China's economy and the improvement of living standards, people hope to have a healthy body while pursuing a rich material life. Therefore, the requirements for scientific and reasonable dietary structure are also getting higher and higher. According to statistics, there is one dietitian for every 300 people in Japan, which is the country with the longest life expectancy in the world. The existing nutrition professionals in China are less than 4,000 people, and there is one nutritionist for every 300,000 talents. This is a big gap compared with developed countries, and it is not compatible with China's social development and people's living standards.
Therefore, authoritative institutions predict that the nutritionist profession will be one of the hottest high-paying occupations in the future of our country.
The work content of dietitians is quite diversified, not only to understand the nutrition knowledge of Traditional Chinese and Western medicine, but also to understand food hygiene, food processing technology, but also to master the basic knowledge of nutrition and human health hygiene knowledge. From the perspective of employment, the demand for dietitians is quite extensive, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, institutions, schools, beauty institutions, food and health food companies all need dietitians, and the nutritionist industry has great employment potential.
