Modulo 1 – Fondamenti di nutrizione nel ciclo di vita: prevenzione, epigenetica e salute

➡️ Lesson 1 of the Video Course on Nutrition Across the Life Cycle. This lesson will address the essential theoretical foundations for truly understanding the role of nutrition in human health. Starting from the difference between food and nutrition, the lesson explores why food is not just a source of energy, but a set of biological, cultural, and behavioral signals capable of influencing development, prevention, well-being, and quality of life. The lesson addresses key topics such as energy balance, the role of macronutrients and micronutrients, the importance of hydration, the relationship between nutrition and prevention, and how nutritional needs change from childhood to old age. Ample space is also dedicated to the most modern scientific paradigms, such as epigenetics, nutrigenetics, nutrigenomics, and psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology, to understand how environment, lifestyle, physical activity, stress, and nutrition can shape health in the short and long term. It also discusses chronological and biological age, aging, cellular senescence, and useful strategies for promoting longevity and prevention. This video lesson is designed for professionals, students, and enthusiasts who wish to gain a broader, more up-to-date, and critical understanding of nutrition. Topics covered include: Nutrition as a determinant of health: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention Introduction to epigenetics and PNEI Chronological and biological age Energy, macronutrients and micronutrients, bioavailability, and nutrient density The "life-course" approach: critical windows Professional roles and boundaries: screening, counseling, education, monitoring ➡️ Information and insights at the link: https://www.scienzedellanutrizione.it/ #scienzedellanutrizione #nutrizionenelciclodivita ************** ➡️ My website: https://www.depascalis.net ➡️ Stay up to date by subscribing to my YouTube channel: https://www.depascalis.net/youtube ************** 🍎 Need a nutritionist?
