Professor Helen Truby and her team in the department of
Nutrition and Dietetics at Monash University have developed a free online
course addressing the question- can we use food as medicine?
Food has traditionally been used as medicine and this course
looks to explore its current role in health and disease; take a closer look at
nutrition science and how it guides us on what and how much to eat for health; and how to apply evidenced-based nutrition
knowledge to guide food choices.
This course is designed for anyone with an interest in food,
nutrition and health and does not require previous knowledge or experience in
science or health studies.
This course will also be of interest to medical and
healthcare professionals looking to upskill their knowledge in food and
nutrition, and see what the current evidence is for using foods to improve
health.
There are two Food as Medicine courses running in 2016,
starting:
·
Monday 2 May
·
Monday 23 October
