The focus of our e-learning is on the basics of healthy eating, namely macro and micronutrients, the nature of calories, recommended caloric intake for men and women, anabolism and catabolism, ATF, energy balance, caloric deficit and much more valuable knowledge. The course also includes tips for building a healthy diet.

Nutrition is a fundamental life process directly related to the intake, absorption and processing of food needed to build and renew cells and tissues, to carry out and regulate the body's vital functions, and to compensate for its energy expenditure. Nutrients are those life-sustaining elements that the human body cannot synthesize on its own, either at all or not in sufficient quantity. In order to survive, it must obtain them through a balanced diet.

You will learn about the role of water in the body. Even though drinking water is one of the first skills we learn in life, it turns out that most of us have never learned how to make full use of its power. You probably know about the rule that 8 glasses of water a day is a must if you want to stick to a healthy lifestyle. But at what time and in what way should you take them? You will learn in the training.

Interestingly, depending on their colour, foods exhibit particular qualities. We can distinguish several of the main colours found in plants and their properties in our study.

Did you know that the only vitamins the human body can produce naturally are D and K? All others must be supplemented through food or supplements. Since there is no food that contains all types of vitamins, one must eat a varied diet. An example of a food source of vitamins are given in the training.
