BIOL 0145 - Nutrition (T►)

3 Credit Hours

Nutrition is a general biology course for building knowledge about the six classes of nutrients in food. Students study how nutrients are used by the body, their relation to the myplate.gov, and how to read a food label. The social, economic, and environmental impact of our food selections, and production, is a highlight of this class (food sustainability). Proper nutrition for each stage of the human life cycle will be examined, as well as good nutrition for exercise. The focus is on how to reduce the risk for heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes.
