Course details

More about this course
  • On this course you'll look at the importance of nutrition in human health and explore what happens to the body when it doesn't receive the right nutrients. You will focus on malnutrition and obesity and how these contribute to the development of diseases, such as diabetes. Using research from the University of Leeds, you'll learn how food can lead to ill health by carrying pathogens that cause food poisoning, or toxins linked with diseases such as cancer. You'll then investigate environmental factors, including air pollution and its contribution to cardiovascular diseases.
