Nutrition 4 Optimal Health - Detailed Plant-based Nutrition

This course will give you a foundation in proper nutrition with a focus on optimal health using the last scientific research for plant based nutrition. It is aimed at anyone considering eating more plant based, such as vegetarians, vegans, flexitarians, Mediterranean diet aficionados, or those looking at a career in health and wellness, such as a Nutritional Therapist or Health & Wellness Coach. There is a quick look at various nutrition professionals before diving into the meat of this course on plant-based nutrition.

Learn how to read labels and uncover the key nutritional terms. From carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats to vitamins and minerals you need. See how to avoid nutritional deficiencies as well as how to deal with food allergies and sensitivities by building menus and meal plans that work for you. And avoid the diet fads that can get you off track from a healthy lifestyle you can maintain for a lifetime. Plus, diet alone won’t provide all of your bodies needs. Have a look at water, exercise, and sleep.

This course is separate, yet a perquisite for our Nutritional Therapy course, which dives into how food affects our bodies and how to use that to fight disease. You will benefit more from this course if you understand basic physiology, but it is not compulsory.  

Learn basic nutrition to have longevity and wellness. With emphasis on plant-based and tips for vegans and vegetarians.
