Diet and Nutrition - An Introduction - Online Course - Adult Learning - 13:30-15:30

About this course

The Introduction to Diet and Nutrition course simplifies the fundamentals of health and nutrition in what often feels like a confusing and contradictory world. It was designed to help you develop a holistic relationship between food and health, shifting from a mindset of dieting and rigid regimes.  Explore the aspects of a healthy diet and fluid intake and how they impact upon our health.  We will also look at the long-term and short-term impact of eating disorders. 

Throughout the course, we will look at: 

The makings of a healthy diet: 

- What are the principal constituents of food? 

- Which components of your diet can promote wellbeing and reduce the risk of diseases? 

Why do we eat what we eat? 

- What are the drivers that influence our food choices? 

- How do we make sense of available nutrition information? 

- What are the different types of eating disorders? 

Nutrition fads, myths and the plain truth: 

- Is there such a thing as a ‘miracle’ diet? 

- Do superfoods exist, or are our genes to blame for our current nutritional habits?
