Understanding the Roles: Dietitian vs. Nutritionist
A dietitian is a regulated health professional with specialized training in food and nutrition. They hold a bachelor's degree in dietetics or a related field, complete supervised internship training and pass a national examination known as Training of Professionals Council (TOPC) to earn credentials such as Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Dietitians provide evidence-based dietary advice, medical nutrition therapy, provide Diet plan/guide to in and out Patients/clients and work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and community health organizations.

In contrast, the title "Nutritionist" is less regulated and can vary in meaning depending on the location. Some nutritionists may have formal education and certifications, while others might not. Hence, It's essential to verify a nutritionist's qualifications, as the term does not uniformly guarantee a standardized training or adherence to professional guidelines.
Celebrating World Dietitian's Day: Food Connects Us
This theme "Food Connects Us" enlightens the world's uniqueness nature of food as a medium for connecting, traditions, and community together. To embody this theme, a series of events were carried out such as:
Solemn Assembly and Prayers for the Nation: This was handled by the Secretarwith a gathering where participants reflect on the importance of unity and health. Offering prayers for national well-being underscores the collective aspiration for a healthier society.

I love the fact that you're on this project, willing to help people out there know food choices. This would be very beneficial even though the cost of living is hard. I love your post but I you'll need to work on three things next time.
Your diary game should be a summary of your day and the title matters. Your title sounds like a formal posts and not a diary game title. You can tell us what you did in summary as the title to attract readers.
Your first picture doesn't really have to be a picture of you. Maybe you can use that of the Assembly hall to create first impression even though it comes later in the post.
Lastly, your diary game should be less informative and more of narration as that's what diary game entry implies.
I wish you all the best in your steemit journey as you keep improving your style of writing. You can check out the #steem-atlas project if you don't mind. By using the map to describe a particular location, you can earn votes if your post is quality enough.
