Introduction to the Course

This course examines the role of diet in relation to health. Diet and health are prominent features of western news and information shared on social media. The information is often in relation to increased incidence of obesity, heart disease, stroke and dementia. The theory of ‘blue zones’ – places where more people per capita live in good health to over 100 years of age – is examined with focus on common lifestyle factors that may contribute to this. 

Course Audience

The course is aimed towards groups or individuals with a personal or professional interest in maintaining good health into older age by optimizing diet. This may include those in the health and care industries, people caring for older family members, or those wishing to learn about diet in order to improve their own health.
