Are you tired of the 9-to-5 routine? Have you lost your passion in the workplace? Consider exploring a new career in the ever-changing field of nutrition. If you are a person who is passionate about overall wellness and have the desire to help others achieve their goals of a healthy, fit lifestyle through food, this may be the industry for you.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of dieticians and nutritionists is expected to increase 9% between 2006 and 2016. Job growth will result from an increasing emphasis on disease prevention through improved dietary habits. A growing and aging population will also boost demand for workers in this industry, especially through hospitals, residential care facilities, community health programs and home health care agencies. And, as we learn more and more about the healing power of foods, public interest will require the need for experts to guide them to better health.
One of the biggest trends today in the nutrition industry is using food as a way to heal the body. The public continues to become more and more conscious of what food enters the body, avoiding pesticides, chemicals and over-processed foods.
