Certified Health and Nutrition Counselor Course

Course Definition: The science of nutrition is the study of the nutrients in food and the body’s handing of these nutrients.  You are made entirely of what you have eaten.  Your skin, which has reliably covered you from the time you were born, is not the same skin that covered you seven years ago, it is made entirely of new cells.  The fat beneath your skin is not the same fat that was there a year ago.  Your oldest red blood cell is only 120 days old, and the entire lining of your digestive tract is renewed every three days.  To maintain your “self”, you must continually replenish the energy you burn and replace the cells you lose.  This course is designed to teach you about proper nutrition and the role it plays in your health and the health of others.
