Online Nutrition Advice

August 27, 2007 by ruth

I am fascinated by functional foods, more popularly known as “superfoods”, and their ability to help the body fight diseases. Having been a scientist in my past life (haha!), I am amazed at the number of scientific studies that show how certain foods are not merely for satisfying hunger, but also as tools to a healthy lifestyle. But I’m no nutritionist. I’m not a dietician. Therefore, when it comes to specific diet/nutrition advice, I’m of no use.
Nutrition Advisors' Network
A reader of this blog pointed out the Bitwine’s Nutrition Advisors’ Network, which features licensed dieticians available 24/7 to provide professional consultation for a fee. Each advisor has an indicated cost-per-minute consultation fee, which can be from 50 cents to about 2 bucks, although I’ve seen a handful offering their services fore free.

I’m not sure what and where the hooks are, and to be honest I’m pretty skeptical about any sort of online medical consultation. But if you have an urgent question or problem that can’t wait til your next trip to a real flesh-and-blood nutritionist/dietician (or perhaps for some reason, do not want to visit a real flesh-and-blood nutritionist/dietician), then you might want to give this a try. I can imagine that the first challenge is to find one from the hundreds of nutritionists listed there that’ll suit you.

    We have been amazed at the radical changes that are happening in our health and others since we started drinking Monavie. It is backed by independent science research. I for one, had diabetes type 2 and have not had a pill in almost two years because my blood sugars stay in the high eighties and low ninety’s. Also, my indigestion is gone and so is the pain of arthritis. This has some of the darkest fruits in the Amazon Rain Forest including the worlds’s #1 super food-Acai’ berry. Cheryl Hukill

    Hello, I am 32 years old and I’ve been a dancer since I was 5 to 20. Now I am going back to dancing but my body doesn’t look just the same, I am 5.3 ft tall and I weight 10 lbs. I am trying to loss 9 lbs so I can look good on my dancing againg, but although I dance like 4 hours a day it seems to be very difficult to loss that weight. I am vegetarian so I never eat any kind of meat or animal. I want to know how I can mad myself a diet with protein and non fat. Or any other advice to go back to my dancer body.
    thank you very much for your advice
    Fabiola
