Study Children's Nutrition

  • Children may be resilient and possible able to cope with junk food, but what a person eats when they are young can have a great impact upon their health in later life.
  • Nutrient toxicities can start building when young; even if they don't reach critical levels until they are older.
  • Eating habits develop (good & bad) when young' and if they are bad habits they can be difficult to change in later life.

A young body has different nutritional needs to a fully grown one, and it is only with a proper diet, that a child can develop their full potential both physically and psychologically.

 

ACS student comment:

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I had not studied for the past 10 years and was a little apprehensive. The staff were very supportive, their feedback was always valuable and response time was extremely prompt. This course has given me a new desire to keep learning. I never knew learning could be so enjoyable. I am looking forward to my next learning experience through ACS. Rhonda Rae, Australia - Children's Nutrition course.
