It is highly likely that you spend most of your professional day involved with nourishing others. Many of your residents/patients have health problems that require modifications and/or restrictions in what they eat. You, too, may need to make, or are making, similar adjustments.
If that is the case, you are a part of the majority of Americans who are making health-based decisions about what they eat. Research clearly links food choices and the development or prevention of many serious chronic illnesses including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, and strokes, to name a few. Many of us know we should eat better and healthier, but we are not sure how to go about it.
Through this continuing education course, you will learn:
- the principles of nutrition that are the basis of the science of food, its components, and how the body uses them.
- the principles of a healthful diet and then put them into practice—for yourself, your family, clients, patients, or residents.
- how to improve your nutritional health and receive the latest information on food groups, dietary guidelines, and labeling.
Many of the activities in the course are aimed at your personal food choices and at improving your nutritional health.
