    Nutrition for Age 50+ Course

     

    An online Diploma Course of 11 Lessons

    This Nutrition for Age 50+ Course provides a comprehensive overview of the nutritional requirements for adults over the age of 50 years. Only recently has research fully explored the startling difference between the health of men and women and how diet can play a role in many gender-specific health conditions.

    The course provides an in-depth study of many diet-related health issues, providing valuable advice to therapists advising clients over 50 on healthy eating practices. Students will learn how to guide their clients on balancing meals and controlling portion sizes to manage their general health.

    Practitioners from all specialisations now acknowledge the crucial role food plays and the multitude of nutrients it supplies for our physical and emotionally well-being, with changes leading to almost immediate and noticeable differences in our mood, stress levels, energy levels and ultimately health.

    This subject is complemented by our Nutrition Course (Holistic).

    Course Feedback

    The Nutrition 50+ course was brilliant, so well written, and just suited the way I like to work. My little hobby for the last 45 years has been modelling and I belong to 9 model agencies throughout the UK, and so have always wanted to take reasonable care of my health, to scrub up well for the location shoots.  It is crazy how obese the country is becoming, so I’m hoping to combine modelling advice/deportment/presentation etc. with nutritional therapy.  Clearly I must make a start on the Business and Marketing Course which was kindly sent to me…!
