What made you decide to study health design?
This department is not just about learning to become a qualified dietitian, but also about learning about "food and health" scientifically, including areas such as exercise and beauty. I have been involved in various sports since elementary school and have been interested in sports nutrition. I decided to go to this department because I felt that I could learn what I wanted to learn the most.
What did you learn?
In addition to the necessary knowledge for a dietitian, such as nutrition, biochemistry, and cooking, I also acquired knowledge about exercise, such as kinesiology, sports psychology, and sports training. I also participated in a department project and provided nutritional support to a women's baseball team for a year. Providing actual nutritional guidance was an experience that will be useful in the future.
What do you want to work on next?
After graduation, I would like to go on to graduate school to deepen my expertise and support athletes as a sports nutritionist in the future. To achieve this goal, in addition to being a nutritionist, I have obtained qualifications as a health and exercise instructor, HACCP manager, food specialist, and NR supplement advisor.
Which class left an impression on you?
In the "Sports Nutrition" class, we learned how to create menus for weight loss and weight gain, and devised meal menus for athletes and sports. I realized how difficult it is to create a menu for a different purpose than for school lunches.
