This course provides students with an enhanced understanding of the chemical and physiological basis of nutrition. The role of macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein, and fat) as involved in energy metabolism in human health will be presented, including the processes of digestion, absorption, transport, and cellular function. Dietary requirements and food sources will be studied. The role of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in metabolic processes will be examined, including dietary requirements, deficiency issues, and food sources. The relationship with both macronutrients and micronutrients will also be explored in the regulation of water balance/metabolism.
