7. Reasons
My choice to study
Human Nutrition due to
my interest in science
and health. I’m
particularly curious
about how diet affect
our body and health.
The relationship
between food and
health.
With more and more
people start to focus on
health and nutrition . In the
future there will be more
jobs for students graduate
from nutrition and dietitian.
