PED 205 Health and Nutrition
3 hours
This course invites students to explore the relationship between health and nutrition from a contemporary and functional approach. Based in science, students will cover key macro and micro-nutrients, and their effects on health, energy balance, weight management, and disease/illness, etc. by analyzing the process of digestion, absorption, and metabolism. In addition, the class covers proper nutrition throughout the different life stages. Students will evaluate and assess how these concepts apply not only to your own lives, but also to lives and communities around you—identifying where there are areas for growth and development from a socio-economic, anti-racist, and global perspective.
