Course Description:
Most healthcare professionals learned how to read Nutrition Facts labels in college. But unfortunately, this information only provides a small piece of the puzzle when trying to determine the true nutritional value of foods. The truth is, with each of our food choices we are either nourishing our body or contributing to disease. For this reason, understanding food labels beyond the Nutrition Facts label is essential. Truly knowing the ingredients in our food as well as how the food was made will allow us to make healthier choices. This course provides a review of the Nutrition Facts label, but more importantly, expounds on how to decipher some of the other terms on a food labels such as high, low, natural, pastured, organic, and many others.
