Nutrition/exercise degree?!
Question: Nutrition/exercise degree!?
I'm looking towards getting my master's and I'm really interested in nutrition, specifically how food reacts with the human body, and also exercise!. Looking at nutrition programs it seems like most focus a lot on the social aspects of nutrition which doesn't interest me as much, and there isn't much focus on exercise!. I was wondering if there was another degree (other than nutrition) out there that fits my interests better that I could look into!. Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I got my Masters Degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion!. The program I went through was co-written by the professionals at the National Academy of Sports Medicine!. The content is great!. There are a lot of physiology and program design concepts!. The instructors are all long-time fitness and sport science professionals!. I highly recommend this graduate program!. The content is delivered through an on-line series of modules through California University of Pennsylvania!. Granted, there won't be an in-depth study of nutrition, but it is difficult to find a program that doesn't separate nutrition and exercise theory!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't think there is ONE degree that combines both!. But, minor degree you should consider Homeopathic or Naturopathic Doctor- if you sincerely want to help people balance their immune system and over all health by means of nutrition!. If your goal is to help people with disease and terminal illnesses then being an ND will do the job!. But, if you are focused on Nutrition/exercise to change someones looks, then I don't know a degree that combines both!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
