In this subject, you will learn about the complex physiological processes that occur after food intake and the anatomical structure of our gastrointestinal tract.
The digestive tract is a complex mechanism that starts after food intake. Digestion begins in the mouth, where food is digested through chewing and mixing with saliva. The next step is the utilization of food in the stomach, where it is further broken down and mixed with gastric juice. Then, the food enters the small intestine, where most of the digestion and absorption take place. Digestion is finally completed in the large intestine, where the food is processed into stool.
The different areas of the digestive tract are introduced and explained in terms of how it functions. Before that, the structure and function of the biological membrane are explained. The biological membrane is a protective barrier that exists around each cell and prevents foreign substances from entering the cell. The membrane consists of a lipid bilayer surrounded by proteins. These proteins are responsible for regulating the influx of nutrients into the cell. Digestion is influenced by many factors, including the type of food, the amount of food, the time of day, and the overall health condition of the body.
This is a crucial subject for the nutritionist training program.

In many countries, there are legal regulations governing the labeling of food products. In the German-speaking region, for example, there is the Regulation on the Nutritional Labeling of Foods (NWKV).
This regulation governs how a food product must be labeled in the German-speaking region. The aim of labeling is to provide consumers with relevant information about the food product so that they can achieve a healthy and balanced diet.
In this course of the Nutrition Trainer Training, we will focus on food labeling and learn about the most important legal guidelines. You will learn about changes in this area and what food producers need to pay attention to.
There is also an additional task for this course, where you will select various food products and work on their labeling and specified ingredients (E numbers, preservatives, colorings, etc.).
Food products may contain allergens that can cause reactions in sensitive individuals. For this reason, it is important that allergens are properly labeled. Food products containing allergens must indicate them on the packaging. In gastronomy, allergens must be indicated on the menu.
As an aspiring nutrition trainer, it is important to know what is contained in the foods that are consumed, so that you can recommend your clients the right foods they need. You will take a closer look at what is stated on a nutrient table and what else to consider when selecting foods.

The quality of the food we consume is crucial for our health.
In the course of Food Science in the Nutrition Trainer Training, we delve into the effects of food on the human body.
Food is categorized into various groups based on their origin. Food categories of animal origin include meat and meat products, dairy and dairy products, eggs, fish, and seafood. Plant-based foods are classified into grains and pseudocereals, legumes, fruits & vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouts. We delve deeper into these groups to provide you with more insight into the foods you consume.
Furthermore, we explore the various quality differences and how cultivation and breeding can influence food products. Additionally, we break down the nutrients contained in different foods and the processing steps that lead to the final product.

At first glance, the topic of Food Toxicology may not seem particularly interesting. However, upon closer examination, one quickly realizes that this is a very important subject. After all, it concerns our health.
Food toxins and food poisoning can be very dangerous and often even fatal. On one hand, plant substances (antinutrients), fungal toxins, and marine toxins can lead to poisoning in humans. On the other hand, bacteria, molds, and viruses can cause poisoning due to poor (kitchen) hygiene.
In this course, we will also explore the various types of poisonings and find out how to prevent them.
"The dose makes the poison" is a well-known saying that is very apt here. Many foods we eat every day can be toxic, but in small amounts, they are harmless. Therefore, it is important to know the quantity of a particular food you can consume before it becomes dangerous.
Foods can have a toxic effect if they contain toxins. These toxins can be of natural origin, such as alkaloids in various plant species. Mold fungi can also develop toxic substances called mycotoxins.
In rare cases, poisoning results from intoxication with foods contaminated with pollutants. These pollutants can occur accidentally in foods or be intentionally added. Examples of pollutants that can be found in foods include heavy metals, pesticides, and dioxins.
Therefore, it is important as an aspiring nutrition trainer to be aware of the risks of food toxins and food poisoning and to be able to take the necessary precautions.

In addition, we delve into supermarket psychology and the psychological tricks used by the food industry, such as how products are placed and why fruits and vegetables are located at the entrance area.
Eating psychology is a very exciting subject for participants in the Nutrition Trainer Training. Afterward, you will surely see shopping centers with a different perspective.

In many countries, there are legal regulations governing the labeling of food products. In the German-speaking region, for example, there is the Regulation on the Nutritional Labeling of Foods (NWKV).
This regulation governs how a food product must be labeled in the German-speaking region. The aim of labeling is to provide consumers with relevant information about the food product so that they can achieve a healthy and balanced diet.
In this course of the Nutrition Trainer Training, we will focus on food labeling and learn about the most important legal guidelines. You will learn about changes in this area and what food producers need to pay attention to.
There is also an additional task for this course, where you will select various food products and work on their labeling and specified ingredients (E numbers, preservatives, colorings, etc.).
Food products may contain allergens that can cause reactions in sensitive individuals. For this reason, it is important that allergens are properly labeled. Food products containing allergens must indicate them on the packaging. In gastronomy, allergens must be indicated on the menu.
As an aspiring nutrition trainer, it is important to know what is contained in the foods that are consumed, so that you can recommend your clients the right foods they need. You will take a closer look at what is stated on a nutrient table and what else to consider when selecting foods.

The quality of the food we consume is crucial for our health.
In the course of Food Science in the Nutrition Trainer Training, we delve into the effects of food on the human body.
Food is categorized into various groups based on their origin. Food categories of animal origin include meat and meat products, dairy and dairy products, eggs, fish, and seafood. Plant-based foods are classified into grains and pseudocereals, legumes, fruits & vegetables, nuts, seeds, and sprouts. We delve deeper into these groups to provide you with more insight into the foods you consume.
Furthermore, we explore the various quality differences and how cultivation and breeding can influence food products. Additionally, we break down the nutrients contained in different foods and the processing steps that lead to the final product.

At first glance, the topic of Food Toxicology may not seem particularly interesting. However, upon closer examination, one quickly realizes that this is a very important subject. After all, it concerns our health.
Food toxins and food poisoning can be very dangerous and often even fatal. On one hand, plant substances (antinutrients), fungal toxins, and marine toxins can lead to poisoning in humans. On the other hand, bacteria, molds, and viruses can cause poisoning due to poor (kitchen) hygiene.
In this course, we will also explore the various types of poisonings and find out how to prevent them.
"The dose makes the poison" is a well-known saying that is very apt here. Many foods we eat every day can be toxic, but in small amounts, they are harmless. Therefore, it is important to know the quantity of a particular food you can consume before it becomes dangerous.
Foods can have a toxic effect if they contain toxins. These toxins can be of natural origin, such as alkaloids in various plant species. Mold fungi can also develop toxic substances called mycotoxins.
In rare cases, poisoning results from intoxication with foods contaminated with pollutants. These pollutants can occur accidentally in foods or be intentionally added. Examples of pollutants that can be found in foods include heavy metals, pesticides, and dioxins.
Therefore, it is important as an aspiring nutrition trainer to be aware of the risks of food toxins and food poisoning and to be able to take the necessary precautions.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
