Overview

This Nutrition and Wellbeing course from University of Aberdeen by FutureLearn will help you understand the scientific basis of human nutrition, and current nutrition concepts and controversies.

Each week we look at a different theme:

  • The makings of a ‘healthy diet’: Which components of your diet can promote wellbeing and reduce the risk of diseases?
  • Why do we eat what we eat? What are the ‘drivers’ that influence our food choices?
  • Food and disease: Can you really eat your way to health?
  • Nutrition fads, myths and the plain truth: Are our genes to be blamed for our current nutritional habits?

By the end of the course, you'll be able to:

  • Describe components of a healthy diet
  • Identify principles of healthy eating
  • Apply principles learned to assess their own dietary intake
  • Develop an understanding of good examples of evidence based research
  • Calculate their own Body Mass Index (BMI)
