Short Description: In the past, people often thought of nutrition as a niche subject, something relevant only to athletes, or those with particular health problems. Today we are accepting that nutrition is much more. It is medicine, it is livelihood, it is well-being. We understand that in addition to its cultural significance, foods can prevent diseases from developing, provide you with the energy to live a full life, and even affect your mental health. Nutrition is no longer relegated to specialists. It is meant to be understood by everyone, at any level, to improve any area of life in need.
This course aims to provide you with a simple, straightforward approach to nutrition. Even though the food landscape has changed dramatically alongside industrial practices, and supermarkets today feature bags, boxes, cans, and packages of manufactured food, there is still a simple and straightforward way to eat. Animal proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes, consumed as naturally as possible, still can’t be beat for health, vitality, and taste!
Instructor Description: This course is completely self-paced. Students have access to the Student Helpdesk where they can ask any questions related to the experience or curriculum.
