About the course:

NUTRITION – The forgotten Medicine

The definition of nutrition is “the process of absorbing nutrients from food and processing them in the body in order to keep healthy or to grow”.

Unfortunately for lots of people their only conscious interaction with the food they eat is counting calories to help them lose weight. Because of this they look at some foods as good or bad only in relation to how many calories it contains and therefore how much of it they can eat.
