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.

The course is pretty short but teaches us down to earth lifelong lessons. I'll start with preparing meals for weekdays on the weekends. Hopefully I manage to keep healthy eating habits.

Really a must to enroll course. Not just information but quite of an inspiration the course gives. Obviously the speaking style of the Teacher also keeps a person latched to the course.

Excelent curse. Even though I love everything about nutrition, I tend to binge a lot and this curse helped me to have more respect for food and understand it better. Thankyou very much!

It’s a very nice course, simple and clear to learn about the benefits of eating healthy but also about the reasons, using some statistics and advise but keeping simple and entertaining.

A very helpful course that exposed you to some of the basic but important things about food and how they relate to our health. Would love to learn further on this topic in the future.
