Women’s Health

In terms of human biology and key bodily processes, men and women are very different organisms. Which is precisely why issues like diet, nutrition and healthcare in general call for gender-specific approaches. For those working the field of dietetics and nutrition, the importance of understanding the differences between the two sexes cannot be overstated. Women’s health in particular has become a key area of focus for both the public in general and qualified experts over recent years. Regardless of whether you choose to focus on women’s health as your primary specialism, you’ll need a strong understanding of the subject to perform in a professional capacity.
