Nutrition

Nutrition is designed for learners to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to make healthy food choices. Topics of study will include how key nutrients affect health, disease, and energy balance, how to create meals that promote health and prevent disease, and how to properly discern the vast amount of nutritional information available. In addition, specific dietary concerns of athletes, vegetarians, those with food allergies, and other special dietary needs will also be addressed. After completion of this course, learners will walk away with a personal nutrition program that balances their nutritional needs with their personal food preferences.
