In the last 20 years, the field of nutrition has evolved dramatically. Nowadays, the main focus of attention is on key processes inside our bodies that drive health performance.

In this course we will:
? Go beyond the energy balance provided by food, and look into the relationship between food and inflammation (and its impact),
? Understand the impact of nutrition on the microbiota or its importance for the protection against brain damage,
? Study nutrition with a predominantly practical orientation, focusing on acquisition of knowledge that facilitates the decision-making process when choosing what to eat and generally managing your health.
? Teach you scientifically validated knowledge that will enable you to acquire rigorous information that facilitates the decision-making process in the self-management of their own health.
? Learn how to buy healthy food and read the labels!
? Be in direct contact with food and cooking!

The course will be structured around the provision of some basic theoretic knowledge, coupled with a highly participative environment where students will be able to actively participate, research and discuss various relevant topics in small groups.
