Hi there! Happy Kids Nutrition Academy is built by a team of dietitians who all have Bachelor's degrees in Nutrition and Dietetics from a top university. During our time at school, we took courses in anatomy and physiology that helps us with a strong foundation of how the body works when participating in sports. For the food to be utilized, this happens in the body and our body is a biological system. To learn about food and its nourishing effects one has to know the functions and structures of the human body. So Physiology, the study of the functions of the human body, and Anatomy, the study of the human body are some of the basic science subjects we had to learn to understand the role of food in health and disease.
Weekly homework and handouts will be assigned for this class.
