But nutrition can boost our health in more intriguing ways than just trimming our waistlines. As Reuters reports, a recent study profiled in the journal Ophthalmology, suggests that people can reduce their chances of age-related macular degeneration if they follow a diet that includes leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits and fish oil.

Also according to Reuters, men looking forward to fatherhood some day might be interested to know that a diet high in dairy and meat but low on fruits and vegetables can decrease their fertility. Unfortunately, adding a salad to your steak dinner won't quite do the trick. However, changing your overall consumption of fat, protein and carbohydrates can make an important difference to your reproductive health.

For many of us, the link between health and nutrition can become blurred by the rapid pace of our lives. And nutritionists are ready to help. With a nutrition degree, you can join a field that supports people dealing with issues like diabetes, heart disease, cancer and many others. Explore nutrition degrees and schools, and lend others the hand they need to improve their health habits for good
