More Men in India Pursuing Careers in Nutrition and Dietetics

In a surprising turn, more men in India are choosing to study and work in the field of nutrition and dietetics, which has long been dominated by women. Traditionally, people thought of jobs in this area as more suitable for women because they involve caring and domestic roles. Also, the courses were mainly offered in women-centric educational institutes.

But times are changing. Men are realizing the importance of nutrition for good health and are breaking stereotypes to enter this field. As society becomes more aware of health issues, the role of a nutritionist is becoming valued by everyone, regardless of gender.

Gopal Sharma, Director of the Lifeness Science Institute, says they’ve noticed more men enrolling in their nutrition and dietetics courses, showing a shift from the usual female-dominated classes.

This change opens up many opportunities for both men and women. Nutritionists can work in various areas like hospitals, sports, or wellness centers, offering chances for growth and specialization. Plus, with the increasing demand for nutrition experts, it’s not just a fulfilling job but also a financially rewarding one.

The Lifeness Science Institute encourages men to join their courses, promising to provide excellent education and learning experiences in nutrition and dietetics.
