He aha te rerekētanga i waenga i te Kaimātai Kai me te Kaimātai Kai?

He mea whakapoauau tēnei mō te tini. Ahakoa e rongohia ana ēnei kupu e rua e mātou i Sri Lanka, he rerekētanga nui kei waenganui i ngā kupu e rua.

He taitara e tiakina ana e te ture te "Registered Dietitian (RD)" . Ko te tikanga ko te tangata anake kua oti i a ia te tohu paetahi me te tohu māhita mai i tētahi whare wānanga whai mana, kua oti i a ia te neke atu i te 1,000 hāora o te whakangungu e tirotirohia ana, kua paahitia he whakamātautau whai mana ā-motu, ā, kua rēhitatia, ka taea te whakamahi i tēnei taitara. Kua whakamanahia rātou ki te whakarato i te rongoā kai hauora mō ngā āhuatanga hauora.

I tētahi atu taha, kāore i te tino turehia te kupu "Kaiwhakaora Kai" . Tērā pea he tino tohunga ētahi Kaiwhakaora Kai. Heoi, i ētahi wā, ahakoa te tangata kua whai akoranga poto i roto i te kai, ka taea e ia te kī he Kaiwhakaora Kai rātou. I te nuinga o te wā, kāore rātou e whakaaetia e te ture ki te whakarite kai hei rongoā mō ngā mate hauora.

Nō reira, ki te mea kei te rapu tohutohu kai koe mō tētahi mate hauora, ko te mea tino haumaru, ko te mea tino tika hoki ko te toro atu ki tētahi kua whai tohu hei RD , hei RDN rānei.

He mea nui te kai totika ki a tātou katoa, i ngā wāhi katoa. He tohunga tohunga kai te tohunga kai e taea ai e ia te tuku tohutohu tika ki a tātou mō ēnei take nui. I ētahi wā ka mahi tika rātou ki a tātou. I ētahi wā anō kei muri i ngā whakaaturanga rātou, e whakarite ana i ngā kai mā te tūroro i te hōhipera. Heoi anō, he tino nui tā rātou mahi ki te whakarato i te kai totika e hiahiatia ana e te tangata hei oranga hauora.
