Ceylon Dietitian
Local & Sustainable
Ceylon Dietitian was founded in 2020 with the aim of providing expert/professional nutrition advice with a local and sustainable approach.
Sri Lankans have access to a variety of foods with many health benefits, some of which are seldom known. We at Ceylon Dietitian can help you make the most informed food choices while considering any/multiple medical conditions you may have.
WHY PEOPLE NEED A HEALTH ADVISER
Note that Registered Dietitians are the only nutrition professionals that are trained to apply the science of nutrition and develop individualized dietary advice and treatment plans for medical conditions. As Dietitians, we work with both healthy and the sick.
