Overview

The human body needs a good supply of energy which it can acquire through food intake. The best and simple approach to receive adequate nutrition is to consume a variety of foods from the four major food groups which are: fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins. Our body needs to digest, absorb and utilize all essential nutrients from these sources in order to stay in tip top shape.

The only way to maximize the benefits of these food sources is to combine it with a good healthy lifestyle. However, it can be difficult to develop, let alone follow a healthy eating habit since most people have a tight schedule and would most likely prefer the unhealthy option of takeout foods and the prepackaged or canned ones. Although it takes hard work, living healthy is within reach, especially under the guidance of a competent clinical nutritionist.

The main purpose of clinical nutrition is to help people maintain an optimal and functional health. Clinical nutrition combines the scientific fields of nutrition and dietetics in crafting a personalized healthy diet plan for every individual. Every clinical nutritionist knows that there’s no one size fits all plan that works for everybody. This is why they need to get training and education necessary to prime their clients towards a healthy way of life.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
