Nutrition is a fundamental pillar of health, from birth to old age. Our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being as well as our character depend on it.

A healthy, balanced diet provides the body with the nutrients it needs to function properly. It helps to :

• Maintain an optimal body weight
• Prevent many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain cancers
• Strengthen the immune system
• Improve mood and mental well-being
• Increase energy and vitality
• Promote optimal growth and development in children

In today’s world, foods no longer provide our bodies with enough nutrients, and are often denatured. That’s why it’s so important to study ways of filling the gaps left by our civilization.

This is what our courses will cover:

• Nutrition and nutritherapy aim to improve health through food.
• Nutrition: a general approach to healthy eating.
• Nutritherapy: an individualized, medical approach to optimizing health.
• Choose nutrition for healthy eating, nutritherapy for specific problems.
