Foods and us have a relationship, and this course defines that relationship. Personally, this course provides positive experience for me in regards of food, meal preparation, and eating in moderation.

Very informative and accessible. The lectures are straight-forward and the concepts are vividly portrayed. Suitable for beginners who just want to get a sense of food nutrition and the quizzes are really easy.

The information shared in this course is very basic, and most probably as a European or an Asian you will not learn much. However, the quality of the videos, animations and interviews is on a very high level!

Very good course, provides appropriate amount of information on nutrition needed, not so much to become a professional nutritionist but just enough to understand the right kind of diet to lead a healthy diet.

The course provides very useful information and a basis for starting to live a healthier life. It is explained quite clearly and concisely. It is very short though. would enjoy going deeper into the subject.

Information: excellent
Visual aids: beautiful but sometimes tedious and repetitive, sometimes unpredictable, more creative ways of visual aids can help understand and remember better.
Overall excellent course.

As a medical student this course is very helpful for me and it's enhanced my knowledge about food and health related information and I took some new healthy recipe from my helpful and coperative instractor.

If you are considering this course just know that it is a lifestyle guide and not a course on Nutrition in of itself, which is my fault as i did not know that when i was going into it but still pretty good.

High quality videos make this course entertaining as well as educational. Even if you have a basic understanding of nutrition, this course contains good information that will make you thirsty to learn more.

Its a good and simple intro. the the very important world of eating healthy, ergo being happy.
I would complement it with Michael´s Pollan book "In Defense of Food".
Excited to continue my learning journey...

Good introduction to food and healthy eating with two especially helpful ideas: Shop for foods without nutrition labels, and the seven words "Eat foods. Not too much. Mostly plants." Good recipes, too!

I found the course very informative and appreciated the recipe/demonstrations in week 5. My only suggestion is that expanding on the recipes by including the nutrient details would have been informative.

Great introductory course that has helped me think about the food I consume, and what I need to do to adapt my diet to ensure I am eating for health and limiting the amount of processed foods in my diet.

This class was a good introduction for people who are looking to make healthier eating habits. It did not provide as much education as I would have liked it to but number of course hours, it makes sense.

It is simple and could be helpful for people who do not have much knowledge about healthy eating. It was too easy for me. But I enjoyed learning some simple rules which I could share with other people.

This course was a good review of general health and nutrition with added information. The quizzes seemed unproductive since the answers were obvious where I did not have to read much of the questions.

This course builds a good foundation and specialised knowledge in food and health. I would have liked to build skills by solving real-world problems through case studies and practice weekly exercises.

Though It's a very (very very) basic course, it provided clear information, which acts as a kind of wake-up-call for not abusing on processed foods. I'll definitely adjust my diet based on it. Thanks!

Provides basic information regarding macronutrients, the ideal proportions of various kinds of food in our diet, the importance of having home-cooked food, reading nutrition labels on food items, etc

Sencillo, pero da unas pautas muy claras. Está muy enfocado en comportamientos alimentarios de EEUU, que posiblemente no están tan extendidos en España y Europa, aunque por desgracia, están llegando.

I know supplements and vitamins were not necessarily recommended as opposed to healthy foods, but they didn't really cover the scientific reasons why not. I would like more information on this topic.
