Being a dietitian in İzmir is an advantage. You ask why? Because the variety of vegetables and fruits in the Aegean Region allows individuals on a diet to create more diet food definitions. Especially about herbs… As a dietitian, I always try new diet recipes and share these definitions and the benefits of nutrients with you.
