Course Curriculum
Start by exploring the foundations of human nutrition and the role food plays in supporting growth, energy, and overall health. This module has been adapted to reflect evidence-informed healthy eating principles relevant to Canadian dietary guidance rather than European-specific recommendations.
Carbohydrates are one of the body’s primary energy sources. Learn about simple and complex carbohydrates, dietary fibre, their functions in the body, and how to make balanced carbohydrate choices.
Protein supports muscle growth, tissue repair, and many essential body functions. Explore complete and incomplete protein sources, daily protein needs, and healthy dietary options.
Not all fats have the same impact on health. This module explains the differences between saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats while exploring the role of healthy fats in a balanced diet.
Food processing exists on a spectrum. Learn how minimally processed and highly processed foods differ, how processing can affect nutritional value, and how to make informed food choices.
Sugars occur naturally in many foods, while others are added during processing. Discover the different types of sugars, their role in nutrition, and practical ways to manage sugar intake as part of a balanced eating pattern.
Explore how the body naturally regulates its acid-base balance and examine common dietary claims surrounding acidic and alkaline foods. The module encourages evidence-based understanding while discussing popular nutrition topics.
Nitrates are naturally present in certain vegetables and may also be used in some processed foods. Learn about dietary nitrates, food safety considerations, and current scientific understanding of their potential health effects.
Gain an understanding of gluten, the grains in which it is found, and its role in the diet. You’ll also explore conditions such as celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, along with situations where gluten-free diets may be appropriate.
