Dietary Therapy
Dietary therapy is useful in improving general health, in meeting changed requirements such as during pregnancy or helping prevent diseases such as cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and heart disease. Dietary therapy is also beneficial in managing a range of existing health problems or food issues such as fussy eating in children.
At BeActive, seeing a dietician is not about “going on a diet”. We recognise that food is an important part of our social lives and that eating more healthily is not simply a matter of knowing which foods are healthy. We will work with you to identify and help you make the changes you need to address a specific health concern, meet your goals or simply improve your health and wellbeing.

- Healthy eating in a busy lifestyle
