Basic Human Nutrition

This course is designed as an introduction to human nutrition. Nutrition is a science, and as such, it will require you to learn some basics of biology, chemistry, and most importantly, biochemistry and physiology. While nutrition has its roots in food, this is not a cooking class, but a class about food, the human body, and their relationship. The course is meant to provide you with an overall understanding of how our bodies require and use nutrients, non-nutrients, and how health status can be affected. You will hopefully gain an appreciation for how incredible the human body is.
