Comment on the attached mp4 on belief and culture in your canvas. Tell us in 100-
200 words why we have to consider belief, practices, tradition and religion in relation
to nutrition and diet therapy?

There are many reasons why we have to consider belief, practices, tradition and religion
in relation to nutrition and diet therapy. For one, these factors can influence a person's
dietary habits and preferences, which in turn can affect their nutrient intake and overall
health. Additionally, some beliefs, practices, traditions and religions may dictate what a
person can or cannot eat, which can again impact their nutrition and health. As student,
we are complex creatures with a variety of different beliefs, practices, traditions and
religions. These factors can all influence our dietary habits and preferences, which in
turn can affect our nutrient intake and overall health. Thus, it is important to take all of
these factors into account when providing nutrition and diet therapy to people from a
variety of backgrounds. Some beliefs, practices, traditions and religions may dictate
what a person can or cannot eat, which can again impact their nutrition and health.
Thus, it is important to take all of these factors into account when providing nutrition and
diet therapy to people from a variety of backgrounds. Additionally, some people may
have special dietary needs due to their beliefs, practices, traditions or religion. For
example, people who are kosher or halal may need to avoid certain foods or follow
special preparation guidelines. Thus, it is important to be aware of these factors when
providing nutrition and diet therapy. Beliefs play an important role in a person's nutrition
and diet. A person is not always willing to change their beliefs about the food that they
eat, however if a nutritionist or dietician makes them aware of the negative impact of
these beliefs on their health and wellbeing, then it may become easier for them to make
a change in their eating habits. Belief in the value of nutrition therapy, attitudes toward
food and diet, practices of religious believers, and some traditions can be quite
uncertain when applied to individual patients. It is important not only to consider these
factors but also to consider the patient's socio-cultural background and his/her access to
resources. In order to determine the best dietary intervention for a patient with diabetes
or obesity, it is important to understand both the underlying reason for malnutrition and
what type of intervention would be most successful in addressing that reason through
changes in eating habits or dietary choices.
