Nutrition
Description
This course provides basic principles of nutrition. The scope of the course ranges from a review of the gastrointestinal system, energy sources and macronutrients to a more detailed discussion of nutrient function, dietary sources, recommended intakes, deficiencies, and excesses. Students consider behavioural aspects of diet and weight management as well as the effects of modern technology, cultural diversity and aging on views of nutrition. They also examine aspects of nutrition related to disease and to physical and mental health, as well as controversial topics such as alternative therapies. Upon completion of this course, students have the basis for assessing their own diet for nutritional adequacy, and for putting concepts into practice for overall better health.
