Food is in fact a very important part of our day, as there are many daily meals we eat. Sometimes more thoughtful and healthier, taking into account our needs, preferences, health and nutritional character, for others more impulsive, less healthy and less thoughtful.
Whatever our choice, we are aware that eating such a meal or food has an impact on our health, but do we know more than that? Do we know the whole truth of the relationship between food, nutrition and health?
With the course, developed by the Dutch Wageningen University & Research, on Food, Nutrition and Health we can get our answers.
This programme, which offers a Professional Certificate, taught by Professor Sander Kersten, a leading global expert in the field of Nutrition and his team, will teach you how to analyse and interpret the information available on nutrition and health, with the aim of helping you to build a healthier lifestyle.
This course is aimed either at anyone looking to learn more about this area or at any health professional who wants to specialise in helping their patients in the best way possible.
You will learn about the basics of nutrition such as macro and micronutrients, their composition, their role in the proper functioning of the human body and their impact on health, while learning about body weight regulation, energy homeostasis, over- or undernourishment, and various health problems.
This programme will also help you to develop critical thinking, as you will learn to distinguish between wrong information about food data and improve your scientific basis and thus make better decisions.
As mentioned, this programme is especially useful for health professionals who want to update their knowledge about nutrition or even start their specialization in this area, and also for people who work in the food industry with non-nutritional training.
Experience, know, learn and decode all the truths and myths related to your health and the foods you eat.
