Micronutrients University of Newcastle The micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and trace elements) and macronutrients (fat, protein, carbohydrate and alcohol) are the essential nutrients in our foods. They play an important role in our body and impact our health and wellbeing. This course will discuss the biochemistry, food sources, absorption, metabolism, physiological functions, genetics, development and consequences of deficiency, dietary requirements and assessment, therapeutic use and toxicity. In the tutorial activities students will discuss dietary intake and learn about how suboptimal nutrition may affect human health, with particular attention to malnutrition and global hunger. This course includes traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander foods and ways of learning. On successful completion of this course, students will be able to explain the nutrient contents of food and the role and function of macronutrients and micronutrients in the body and their impact on health. |
