概述

Food and nutrition are the foundations of good health. In the 十大网赌正规网址营养科学 major, students are prepared to develop lifelong personal health practices and to advise others on what to eat in order to lead a healthy lifestyle or achieve a specific health-related goal.

许多复杂的疾病, 比如癌症, 糖尿病, and heart disease could be better managed with the help of a nutritionist as part of a health care team. 事实上，美国.S. Centers for Disease Control indicate that nutritionists and dietitians will be in higher demand because of the increasing prevalence of complex diseases in an aging population. 曼彻斯特 nutrition majors develop a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between nutrition and medicine as they relate to human health.

Two Major Tracks and a Minor
