The knowledge and competences acquired in the topic of 'Human Nutrition and Dietetics', integrated by the subjects of 'Human Nutrition' and 'Dietary and Community Nutrition', are completed and expanded with the subject of Food and Health.
It is intended that the student acquires the basic principles of the complex relationship between Food and Health and develops the ability to pose and solve practical cases, as well as being able to assess the bioactivity and beneficial properties for the health of food and its components.
