When it comes to eating a balanced diet, taking vitamins or other dietary supplements, exercising regularly and engaging in other wellness behaviors, registered dietitians come out on top among eight healthcare professional populations, according to the “Life…supplemented” Healthcare Professionals (HCP) Impact Studies. The research studies, conducted in 2007, 2008 and 2009, are part of the “Life… supplemented” consumer wellness campaign, which is dedicated to helping Americans live a healthy lifestyle by engaging in the three pillars of health: a healthy diet + supplements + exercise.
