Description

Dietary guidelines for healthy eating habits and nutrition have been available for many years through the USDA Food Pyramid. However, as demonstrated by the increasing number of overweight/obese individuals both in the United States and in many other countries in the world, these approaches seem to appear unsuccessful. In addition, while these approaches are considered preventive, they are usually not being implemented to treat diseases. For many diseases, the use of pharmaceuticals often remains the only treatment considered, ignoring the fact that the combination of certain drugs with certain foods may improve, or even decrease, the drug efficacy.

The "Nutrition, Fasting, Longevity and disease" course was developed to meet the educational expectations of physicians and other healthcare professionals (HCPs) by providing compact, topic-based research summaries on the health benefits of dietary interventions. The course will provide a detailed overview of how nutrition and fasting affect longevity and disease, and the key molecular mechanisms involved.

Target Audience

This Master course is a collection of research-focused video lectures for scientists, licensed physicians, and other health professionals.

It examines dietary interventions, including fasting and its clinical applications, which have been shown to induce benefits for overall longevity and for various disease states including cancer, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Non-healthcare professionals enthusiastic about the topic may also register and take the course.

After completing the course, healthcare providers will be equipped to evaluate which of the covered approaches are best suited to their own patients in practice.

Course Duration

  • The course duration is about 190 minutes

  • Quizzes and the final exam require 40-60 minutes

Objectives

  • Identify dietary approaches to improve health

  • Allow the learner to discuss these approaches with their patients

  • Distinguish between dietary induced short- and long-term health benefits
