Nutrition
Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food relating to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion.
The diet of an organism is what it eats, which is largely determined by the availability, the processing and palatability of foods. A healthy diet includes preparation of food and storage methods that preserve nutrients from oxidation, heat or leaching, and that reduce risk of food borne illness.
Dietetics
Dietetics is the high-tech science of applying food and nutrition to health. It is a vital, growing field open to creativity and opportunity and the possibilities are endless. A dietitian is an expert in dietetics; that is, human nutrition and the regulation of diet. A dietitian alters their patient's nutrition based upon their medical condition and individual needs. Dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals licensed to assess, diagnose, and treat nutritional problems. Common tasks of nutritionist or dietician include-
Scientific study of nutrition and food science
Provide guidance on eating habits and nutrition to people
Plant diets according to the needs of patient/client
Conduct or take part in research activity (depending upon qualification)
