| About NutritionVista: |
| |
| NutritionVista.com was founded on the basic
premise that for most working adults access to healthy eating and weight
management is not only time consuming but also unreliable. |
| |
| To meet this unmet need, NutritionVista.com
offers a convergence of both online and off-line tools built around the
services of their well-trained dieticians who are certified by the Indian
and/or American Dietetic Associations (IDA, ADA) respectively. A US based
company now with an Indian presence, NutritionVista.com brings the latest
in health assessments and innovative tools that will help consumers get
better guidance, training and support on nutrition and related health issues. |
