Hydration and electrolyte balance are crucial for maintaining optimal body function, which is thoroughly examined in "Fluids and Electrolyte Balance." This module highlights the significance of water and electrolytes in our daily diet and their impact on health.
Antioxidants, known for their role in combating oxidative stress and preserving cellular health, are unpacked in the module on "Antioxidant Function." Following this, bone health, energy metabolism, and blood health are discussed, offering insights into key nutrients that support these critical aspects of health.
The course also addresses practical aspects of nutrition, such as "Achieving and Maintaining Healthy Body Weights" and the synergy between "Nutrition and Physical Activity." Here, you will learn strategies for weight management and the role of exercise in a balanced lifestyle.
Furthermore, "Food Safety" covers the imperative practices to ensure the foods we consume are safe and free from contaminants. Special attention is given to nutrition during different life stages, with modules dedicated to "Pregnancy and Infancy" and "Nutrition Through the Life Cycle," highlighting the unique nutritional needs at various points in life.
