Plant-Based Nutrition Certification || Course 1 Complete
Wow time truly flies by when you're doing an online certification program!
I have spent many hours, every night, for the last 3 weeks working on course one towards my Plant-Based Nutrition Certification and it has been worth every moment! It's crazy to think that I have been ENJOYING sitting down and "working" every night.
I have officially ended my first course and began my second. The first course, called Nutrition and Society, helped to lay the foundation for what we are told about nutrition from our peers, the government, society, and basically everything around us. We looked at campaigns like "got Milk" and the school lunch programs. We analyzed the components that make up the nutrients in our plant-based foods and talked about how these are a benefit to our bodies.
This course definitely had it's pros and cons (in my opinion) and I want to share those in case you are considering taking this course in the future.

- Pro: The amount of information covered is abundant. It comes in a non-biased format which add a lot of arrows to our quiver of knowledge. Facts are supported by quality sources and you are given the details on how to research your own nutritional information.
- Pro: There are various quizzes and assignment throughout the course that help to test if you are understanding the content.
- Con: I personally wish there were more quizzes. This course covers A LOT of information and it's pretty easy to "slide by" without doing any work if that's what you choose to do.
- Pro: Videos. I love the number of videos shared through out the course to help emphasize the lessons. It really helps to better understand what they are talking about.
- Con: It was relatively short in the amount of content. I would have enjoyed more content although they did provide an abundance of additional papers, videos, research, etc, after each module.
That's really all I have to say for now -- I will report back after I complete the next course. I'm so excited to be learning so much about nutrition!
