Applied Nutrition
Exam Answer Key
Course Introduction
Applied Nutrition examines the practical aspects of human nutrition, with an emphasis on translating nutritional science into real-world dietary practices. The course explores the role of nutrients in health and disease, dietary guidelines, food labeling, meal planning, and the influence of nutrition on various life stages. It also addresses the impact of lifestyle, culture, and socioeconomic factors on nutrition choices, as well as current issues such as obesity, malnutrition, and food security. Through case studies and hands-on activities, students develop the skills to assess nutritional needs, create balanced diets, and promote healthy eating behaviors within communities and diverse populations.
