The subject commences with an overview of the basic principles of nutrition and the physiological processes involved in food and eating. Students will then broaden their thinking to develop an appreciation of the importance of food and nutrition across the life cycle and become aware of the importance of evidence in informing nutrition advice to the general public. Lastly, students will start to explore the contribution of poor nutrition to ill health and the complexity of factors that influence food choices.
