Eating Well, Inflammation, and the Gut

Learn how diet impacts physical and mental health with this online course

St Mary’s University has a thriving health sciences department and is well known for its outstanding evidence-based nutrition education.

This exciting new course will give you:

• an excellent understanding of the increasingly scientific topic of gut health
• cutting through the myths
• provide a balanced realistic approach to maintaining a healthy gut.

Beyond the basics of healthy eating, many people realise that the association between positive health and diet is not that simple. Lifestyle, in particular diet, is hugely important in promoting physical and mental health. The food you consume on a daily basis can be a major cause of inflammation especially in the digestive tract (gut).

In this easy to understand, evidence-based course, you will be given easy-to-digest information on how inflammation in the gut can produce unpleasant symptoms throughout the rest of the body and make it more difficult for the body to absorb nutrients from food which can lead to nutritional deficiencies.

The online presentations show how inflammation occurs and what can be done to alleviate or prevent gut problems by including certain types of foods whilst maintaining a balanced diet

This course is perfect for anyone with an interest in diet and health.
