What is nutrition?
Nutrition involves a huge range of knowledge, including:
- Nutrition information about what’s in food, like fatty acids, trans fats, unsaturated fats, vitamin b, vitamin C etc.
- What a healthy diet and a healthy weight looks like for different people.
- The impact that processed foods have on body weight and good health.
- Current dietary guidelines and food industry requirements according to the department of health and nutrition Australia.
- What essential nutrients are, what food groups are good sources of those nutrients, and why they’re important.
- Scientific evidence about how food intake can create better health.
- How food groups and food choices impact different ethnic groups, such as Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Why study nutrition?
Both Dietitians and Nutritionists need to study some kind of formal training to be allowed to practice. Studying a short course in nutrition can be valuable as a stepping stone to a longer course that will mean you can work with clients.
It can be a way to discover if you’re interested in a specific area of nutrition and dietetics, a way to complete professional development for those already qualified, or it can help you get a good handle on your own health and wellbeing by helping you understand what will help you maintain healthy body weight.
How to study nutrition:
There is a range of courses available that can teach you all you need to know and answer all your nutrition FAQ’s. From courses that run for a few days to more intensive courses that run for a year, a short course can get you qualified and onto the path of a lifelong career.
Many courses are taught online, meaning you can discover the difference between whole grains and simple carbohydrates without having to leave your house – and more importantly, you can study a course from anywhere within Australia, New Zealand or beyond! (Although international students should check with CRICOS first)
Courses are also often available both full and part-time, meaning you can fit your course around your lifestyle.
If you’re interested in making a difference in people’s lives through the food choices that they make, then studying nutrition could be perfect for you! Get started by browsing our list of courses today.
