Topic

Advancements in Nutrition Science
In this course, we will embark on an exciting journey through the dynamic landscape of modern nutrition, exploring cutting-edge concepts, emerging trends, and groundbreaking research that shape our understanding of food and health. We will delve into a diverse array of subjects, ranging from the latest advancements in healthy diet paradigms to the burgeoning field of personalized nutrition. We will explore how epigenetics influences our dietary needs and delve into the realm of new active substances and products flooding the food supplement market, while critically evaluating their efficacy and safety. We'll investigate the intriguing connections between sleep and nutrition through the lens of chrononutrition, uncovering how our eating patterns impact our circadian rhythms and overall health. Moreover, we'll delve into innovative dietary trends, including the consumption of edible insects, as part of sustainable dietary practices. By the end of this course, you will not only possess a comprehensive understanding of these contemporary topics but also the analytical skills to critically evaluate nutritional information and make informed dietary choices in an ever-evolving landscape.
