Scientific Nutrition via distance learning

 

Through the ages, man has wondered about the connection between nutrition and human health and performance. In scientific nutrition, health and wellness depend upon a dietary intake that provide all chemical nutrients vital to maintain the biochemical harmony of the body. Every disease, symptom, discharge, and pain indicates a chemical imbalance in the body. The realities of nutrition are based on the kind and quantity of nutrients contained in each food and that required to carry out the chemical reactions necessary to sustain a healthy life.
