116
About the Course:
This course clearly explains the nature and function of nutrients within the human body. The categories of nutrients will be defined, and the vital functions of energy, structure and metabolic regulation will be revealed. We will explore each class of nutrient, examine how the structure and role of each nutrient are related. This clear and enlightening class will add meaning to ubiquitous but nebulous terms such as saturated fats, complex carbohydrates, complete proteins, and good vs bad cholesterols. In doing so, the class forms a succinct didactic on the importance of an adequate and balanced diet. Participants will gain appreciation of the health effects of unbalanced diets as well as such conditions as high cholesterol, diabetes, gall bladder issues, ulcers and acid reflux disease. They will take away insight to the effects of diet and nutrition, the underlying principles of nutrient utilization, and enhanced knowledge of how they can tailor their massage services to best fill clients’ needs.
