About the Course

Around the world, we find ourselves facing global epidemics of obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and other predominantly diet-related diseases. To address these public health crises, we urgently need to explore innovative strategies for promoting healthful eating. There is strong evidence that global increases in the consumption of heavily processed foods, coupled with cultural shifts away from the preparation of food in the home, have contributed to high rates of preventable, chronic disease. In this course, learners will be given the information and practical skills they need to begin optimizing the way they eat. This course will shift the focus away from reductionist discussions about nutrients and move, instead, towards practical discussions about real food and the environment in which we consume it. By the end of this course, learners should have the tools they need to distinguish between foods that will support their health and those that threaten it. In addition, we will present a compelling rationale for a return to simple home cooking, an integral part of our efforts to live longer, healthier lives.

This was an excellent class taught by a wonderful professor. Professor Adams needs to do a follow-up to this class in the future that expands on subjects taught.

спасибо за курс, вначале было не очень понятно, а дальше даже привыкаешь к тем, кто рассказывает про пользу балансир питания, про вред сахара, всего по чуть-чуть

This is a very practical and basic course, it simplify concepts that we, as nutritionists, tend to complicate to our patients. Recipes are great and motivating.
