Ever wondered if you’re on the path to healthy living? Now you can find out! The free online course provider, ALISON, today launched a free online course and assessment on “Healthy Living”.
The free online training and certification provider ALISON today launched another free course to complement its burgeoning suite of health literacy courses. The free “Healthy Living” course offer an informative and practical introduction to the building blocks of human food, what health constitutes and the implications of dietary imbalances.
Reports suggest that people today are unaware of optimal daily exercise and nutritional requirements. According to the "Nutrition Knowledge and Attitudes of College Athletes," fewer than one-third of the 190 student-athletes surveyed responded correctly when asked about recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables, and only 35 percent were aware of a link between low fruit and vegetable intake and health problems.
These lessons address the dearth of information surrounding healthy living, draw attention to daily food and drinks consumption and highlight the benefits of exercise and a balanced diet.
The course also helps the learner to follow a healthy lifestyle by choosing foods and an exercise regime that are appropriate for them. It also explains what calories and food energy are, outlines the dangers of alcohol excess, demystifies food labels and offers a practical guide to putting healthy eating into practice.
The course is suitable for anyone looking to improve their lifestyle but is especially useful for those who want to clear up confusion surrounding conflicting mainstream advice, those who want to introduce themselves to the science of nutrition and those who wish to lead a healthy, more fulfilling life.
