For those enthusiastic about food science and wellbeing, Massey's Bachelor of Science (Human Nutrition) offers deep insights into how dietary choices impact health. Understanding human nutrition and applying this knowledge plays a crucial role in fostering healthier communities.
This evolving, interdisciplinary field encompasses diverse areas - from nutrient metabolism to psychological and social influences on eating habits. The program provides foundational knowledge of nutritional science, covering food composition, bodily nutrient requirements, and digestive processes. It examines how dietary imbalances affect physiology and explores evolving nutritional needs throughout life's stages, from pregnancy to aging. Students will learn about determinants of food preferences and strategies for encouraging healthier eating habits.
The degree further investigates how nutrient excesses or shortages trigger physiological adaptations and tracks nutritional requirement shifts across the human lifespan. Participants will develop expertise in food selection influences and methods for facilitating positive dietary modifications.
