Nutrition & Health Science takes you on an evidence-based journey through the fundamentals of human nutrition. Beginning with the basics of energy balance and calories, you will explore each macronutrient family — carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — in depth, learning how they are digested, absorbed, and utilized by the body. The track then covers essential vitamins, minerals, and hydration before diving into the mechanics of digestion and metabolism. You will finish by examining how nutritional needs change across the lifespan and how public health policy shapes dietary guidelines. Each module pairs rich scientific content with practice quizzes to build a solid foundation in nutritional science.
