Nutrition is so much more than just keeping a count on your calories and following a strict diet plan. It’s understanding what your body really needs, how the body uses up nutrients, how it functions, and what we eat daily influences energy levels, growth, metabolism, and overall well being. This course will help you learn about the key points that are related to nutrition, what the difference between macro and micro nutrients is, how our digestion process works, how absorption takes place, and it will also help you understand why a balanced nutrition plan is important in every stage of your life.

There are various types of dietary supplements available in the market, all the way from multivitamins to protein powders and even herbal products. Each supplement promises us something, but knowing which supplement will actually be useful for your body is a question. It can be quite complicated to figure out how these supplements work, what exactly is in them, and whether you really need them. This particular course will help you understand the purpose of dietary supplements, what their benefits are, what their limitations are, and what all you need to consider before you take them.

A packet can say “natural,” “high protein” or “no added sugar” and still leave you with questions about what is actually inside. This course teaches you how to read food labels with a more informed eye. Learn to interpret ingredient lists, recognise different forms of sugar, understand additives and preservatives, and make sense of nutritional and health claims on packaged foods commonly sold in India.
