Food as Medicine

Learn to evaluate the role foods, functional foods, bioactives, and nutrients have in preventing or treating diseases. This course will expand on your knowledge in food, nutrition and health. You’ll cover a broad range of topics including phytonutrients and phytomedicines, health claims of functional foods, food bioactives and diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, bone and oral health, nutrition and inflammation, and probiotics and prebiotics. UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.  This is a third-year course from UniSA Online’s Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition and Exercise) degree. When studying this course as a &quot;single subject&quot;, prior knowledge from BIOL 2060, HLTH 2036 or equivalent will support your success.Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you. Access online academic and student support seven days a week, fit study around work and life commitments, view learning resources 24/7, and log in to the interactive online environment anywhere, any time and on any device. Should your course have an exam it will be scheduled for Australian Central Standard Time or Australian Central Daylight Time, depending on the time of the year.

Prevent and treat disease with food. You’ll explore compounds found in food that can have a positive impact on health, beyond just the basic nutritional benefits. Think about how food might help patients with conditions including diabetes and cancer.
