Diet, Nutrition and Health
What you need to know
Analyze the complex relationship between diet, nutrition, and overall health.
Understand how diet affects health and how nutritional needs adapt in response to major diet-related health risks, including obesity, cardiovascular health (coronary heart disease and high blood pressure), bone health (rickets and osteoporosis), dental health, iron deficiency anaemia, and Type 2 diabetes.
Apply practical skills by selecting and adjusting cooking processes to accommodate specific health needs, such as grilling meat instead of frying to reduce saturated fat intake for cardiovascular health.
