INTD 315 - Diet and Disease
Did you know that good nutrition plays a critical role in the prevention of four of the top ten leading causes of death in the United States? (Heart disease, Cancer, Stroke, and Diabetes) Additionally, good nutrition is an essential component in the prudent treatment of any human disease because nutrition gives our bodies the fuel it needs to perform all functions at their full potential. Thus, diet and disease are a natural pair to place into such a meaningful context as our own human bodies! And so, this is what we shall do in this course. We will begin the semester with an overview of the fundamentals of nutrition itself; then we will progress to explore general categories of malnutrition and their influence on human health; and finally we will analyze specific medical cases with a focus on nutritional and social/lifestyle factors effectively place our knowledge into a relatable scenario. Some of the topics to be covered will include: Macronutrients, Micronutrients, Over-nutrition, Under-nutrition, Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Celiac Disease, Alcoholism, Cancer. Students must be willing to think critically and engage fully in this course in order to make the connections that they will be presented with meaningful and valuable for both their class performance and life beyond the classroom.
