San Diego, CA, July 15, 2013--Food and nutrition have a profound impact on our health and well-being.

Yet many of us are not aware of what foods to eat, which diets are healthy, and where our food originates. We eat toxic, irradiated, or genetically altered foods; and we eat more than we need.

How can we change our eating habits and become more conscious of what we eat, why we eat it, how it is prepared, and what consequences our food choices have on our health as well as the health of our planet?  

The Certificate in Food, Nutrition, and Health represents a specialization in the field of nutrition. This certificate provides an overview of the role of food and nutrition choices on our bodies, our immune systems, our overall well-being, and the health of all beings on an increasingly populated planet.

Topics covered include:

•   Nutrition and Health--What's the Connection?

•   Nutrition, Stress, and Immune Function

•   Obesity in America--A Public Health Epidemic

•   Spiritual Nutrition--The Global Consequences of Food Choices

•   Food Labels--Deciphering the Mysteries

•   Botanicals, Herbs, and Herbalism

•   Natural Sweeteners--Better Than Sugar?

•   Probiotics--Silent Partners in Health
