In the ever expanding and changing world of nutrition, it is important for nutrition professionals to be a source of reliable and current information.
Today's Dietitian Magazine
is a valuable tool, accessible via the internet, for dietitians that desire to stay up-to-date with current research in the field. The articles displayed on the website are written by registered dietitians and scholars who have much knowledge and experience in their area of interest. In a world where anyone can post information on the internet and present it as holding value or truth, it is comforting to direct professionals within nutrition and even clients to a site that changes and updates information only as research permits. Each month a new issue of Today's Dietitian is published, featuring articles covering a wide range of nutrition research. Another exciting and utile component of this website is Daily Recipe section, displaying different recipes and their nutritional content, which can be helpful for dietitians and their clients! To all the nutrition professionals and health nuts out there, I would suggest reading this reliable and better yet, FREE magazine.

*Nutrition: The Spice of Life*
As a senior, about to graduate with a degree in Nutritional Science and a minor in Spanish, I am blessed to have a great passion for the information I have been studying the past four years. I would love nothing more than to combine these two loves for the Spanish language and nutritious living in the field I pursue when I graduate. I desire to take the experience and knowledge that I have gained from these to areas of study to third world countries in Latin America, or to impoverished areas of the United States to work for poverty relief and against malnutrition that plagues so many.
I have been uniquely blessed at my age to have already had experience working with people from a wide variety of different ages, races, cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds within the United States and in other countries. Through this paradigm I have also seen many of the hardships that people face in different countries around the world, even in America, in meeting basic needs for consuming adequate food and water. Having seen and been broken by these circumstances, I desire to provide nutrition education and access to nutrient rich foods to even the poorest of the poor to end generational hunger, impacting lives and cultures beyond my own name or professional career.
I am excited to embark on this journey as Nutrition is not just my major, but one of my most intense joys. It excites me to think of the possibility of being able to join the things things that I am so passionate about: Spanish, nutrition, and ending poverty, to really make a difference in the lives of individuals, families and cultural groups. I think that in order to make great strides in the world, one must be driven by desire and I am thrilled to move forward in accomplishing these dreams with such simple, yet powerful motivation.
