A Health or wellness professional must have a solid grasp of the science driving nutrition for providing patients and clients with educated counsel regarding lifespan, comprehensive and vitality illness management. The Nutrition Science online course gives a solid base of knowledge in nutrition and dietetics by delving into the roles of macronutrients and micronutrients in the body.

The Milken Institute report states that, In the United States, the yearly expense of obesity-related disease, including disability, chronic disease and mortality, is $480.7 billion. The Nutrition Science Training by Stanford University teaches how macro and micronutrients connect to human health throughout various stages of human development and also teaches students how to analyze nutritional information and conduct nutritional evaluations and dietary assessments.

The Nutrition Science syllabus gives the knowledge to identify the importance of optimum nutrition in preventive services, develops the abilities to critically analyse current research, and eventually earns a completion certificate from the SCHE.
