Why Study Diet and Nutrition?

Record demand for the services of professional nutritionists reflects the world’s growing interest in diet and nutrition.  Science has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt how the dietary decisions we make impact all aspects of our lives.  Our physical and psychological health alike are intrinsically linked with our dietary habits and nutrient intake.  As a result, even the simplest lifestyle changes can build towards positive improvements for a lifetime.  Nevertheless, it’s not always easy to make the right decisions.  Nutritionists dedicate their careers to helping others make positive changes for their health and wellbeing.  An incredibly rewarding and enjoyable field, where every day brings a new opportunity to change lives for the better!

This is a fully-endorsed Level 1 Certificate in Diet and Nutrition, designed exclusively for distance learning and with no time-restrictions imposed.  Course content is delivered over a series of three engaging units as outlined below:

An Overview of Nutrition

The course begins by introducing diet and nutrition as a broad concept, detailing the extent to which our everyday wellbeing is affected by our dietary choices.  Candidates begin to build an understanding of the advantages of proactive dietary habits, along with the body’s daily energy requirements (calorie intake) and an introduction to the body mass index (BMI).

Dietary Nutrition

The concept of dietary nutrition is brought into discussion in unit 2, which outlines some of the most important nutrients the human body requires in measured and consistent doses.  Sources of dietary fibre are discussed, along with the functions of carbohydrates in the human body, typical sources of protein and the difference between ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ fats.

Principles of Healthy Eating

The course concludes with an examination of the concept of healthy eating, touching upon the importance of moderation.  Candidates are presented with a series of tips and guidelines for making healthier dietary choices, along with the potential for everyday cooking methods to positively or negatively affect the resulting dish.
