Sedentary lifestyles and poor nutrition can cause diseases that place an enormous burden on the individual and society as a whole. If you’re interested in the science behind nutrition, exercise and health, this is the course for you.

The role exercise and nutrition science plays in healthy ageing and disease reduction has become a focus for national health policy in recent times.
