This nutrition course discusses ‘superfoods’ that are packed with nutrients like vitamins, minerals and protein. We show you how to balance the elements of food in our diet, which include protein, calories, fats, carbohydrates and so on. We also explain how to balance nutrient timing and cover topics like meal frequency, timing and spacing to help you understand the science of food and our bodies’ reactions to nutrition.
The course also discusses the benefits of fruits and vegetables that contain vitamins, minerals and nutrients. We focus on lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms and many more vegetables that provide enhanced nutritional benefits and qualify as ‘superfoods’. We discuss grains, beans, legumes and lentils, which are all rich sources of protein and calories that contain no cholesterol. The course establishes the importance of fruits that contain vitamins A, B, C and K, which aid memory development and improve mental health.
We then move on to nuts, seeds and seafood, which prevent heart disease, lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and are high in dietary fiber, which helps with digestion. We describe the health benefits of eggs, tuna, lobster, salmon and more. The course wraps up by identifying foods that boost testosterone and bone strength and those that are high in fat. This course combines nutrition and health and fitness as it explains which superfoods can provide the energy you need while exercising while boosting health and wellbeing. Sign up to explore the science of food and learn how superfoods can improve your health and fitness.
