Postgraduate Certificate in Nutrition in Childhood and Adolescence.

Nutrition in childhood and adolescence is essential to promote healthy growth and development. Proper nutrition during these stages allows children and youth to have a good state of health, better academic and athletic performance, and a lower risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. During the first years of life, nutrition is essential for a child's cognitive and physical development. Newborns should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life, and thereafter, complementary foods should be introduced along with breast milk. In adolescence, nutrition is important to ensure proper sexual maturation, bone and muscle development and adequate intake of essential nutrients. At TECH Global University we have this specialized program designed with the objective of providing a theoretical and practical understanding of the fundamentals of nutrition in childhood and adolescence.

Children and youth also need regular physical activity to maintain good health. Physical activity should be appropriate for their age and ability, and should be part of their daily routine. It is important to keep in mind that every child and youth is different, so nutritional needs may vary. For nutrition concerns, it is recommended to speak with a healthcare professional for specific recommendations. This is an excellent option for those who wish to gain specialized skills and develop a successful career in this field.
