Physiological Aspects of Nutrition
In addition to body weight, body composition also includes the proportion of body fat, muscle mass and bone mass. Body weight is a composition of muscle percentage, body fat percentage, bone percentage, and water percentage.
The body fat percentage is the amount of body weight that consists of fat. The body composition can be determined using various methods.
One of these methods is the compartment model. This model divides the body into different compartments that contain nutrients and differ in size and nutrient concentration. The compartment model allows for a better understanding of absorption and distribution processes of nutrients in the body.
In addition to the physiological aspects of nutrition, the participants also learn about other interesting topics during the Nutrition Coach program.
