Module 1: Food for the Ages – Eat to Thrive
The course begins with an overview that introduces three foundational concepts: the distinction between longevity and healthspan, the idea of using nutrition as medicine, and the dietary habits found in Blue Zones—regions of the world where people live significantly longer and healthier lives. Next, you will explore the question, “What is longevity?”, starting with the difference between chronological age and biological age. You’ll examine what it means to live disease-free with vitality, delve into the science of ageing, and consider how ageing can be embraced as a blessing and opportunity for personal growth. The course then dives into nutrition’s role in ageing gracefully, beginning with how poor dietary habits contribute to chronic diseases. You'll learn how diet affects inflammation, cellular repair, and mitochondrial health. From there, you'll be introduced to key strategies for healthy ageing, including consuming less for longevity, limiting carbohydrates while embracing healthy fats, reconsidering meal timing through practices like intermittent fasting, and moderating animal protein intake. Finally, the module focuses on learning from Blue Zones, explaining what they are and unpacking the common dietary traits shared among these long-lived populations, offering real-life inspiration for adopting a more vibrant, health-oriented lifestyle.
