Health is not merely the absence of illness or disability, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Nutrition, which is our most basic need starting from the womb and continuing throughout life, is the most important environmental factor affecting health. The healthy life of individuals and society, as well as the economic development of a community, depends on the health of the individuals who make it up. It has been proven by research that medical nutrition therapy plays a significant role in the prevention of chronic diseases, slowing their progression, and increasing the effectiveness of treatment. In order to achieve the expected quality of life in line with the changes occurring in the world, it is necessary to raise the nutritional awareness of all individuals and society and to transform healthy eating into a lifestyle. Recommendations for eating habits and physical activity level, which are two components of lifestyle intervention, should be determined individually.

Our department trains DIETITIANS who undertake the most important role in increasing the nutritional awareness of all individuals and society and in transforming healthy eating into a lifestyle in order to reach the expected quality of life in line with the changes occurring in the world.

We would be pleased to see you as part of the Cankiri Karatekin University Nutrition and Dietetics family.

Your future is our future.
