Curriculum
With this course, you will learn what the most macronutrients for your body are, and how to use this knowledge to craft your ideal diet. You will first learn a bit of science. The course will show you how carbohydrates are macronutrients that contain hydrogen and oxygen and can be broken down to release much-needed energy in the human body. Protein, on the other hand, builds and repairs tissues. Some people shy away from fats but this macronutrient is also an essential part of our diet for maintaining good health.

Additionally, you will learn about the serious effects of diet-related diseases and disorders, and be shown how to make good food choices to avoid these. The course will also cover the World Health Organisation's nine important elements for primary healthcare.
