Lesson 6 "33,000 days of health."
In Lesson 6 we are going to briefly discuss nutrition throughout the life course (33,000 days = ~90 years of life). Nutrition during infancy affects nutrition during childhood which affects nutrition during adolescence which affects nutrition during the reproductive years which in turn affects nutrition for not only the next generation but the generations to follow (again, you not alone!). Finally, nutrition during your reproductive (adult) years affects your elder years. Nutrition is always important, no matter your age.
