      A nutrition degree is a biology degree that focuses on the human body and how food and nutrients are processed. So things like our digestive system, how vitamins are absorbed. It also looks at illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease. I learnt about different stages of the life cycle such as nutrition during pregnancy, feeding babies, what teenagers need to grow and develop and then all the way to old age when there can be bone problems or other illness that occur. I learnt all the very complicated process inside our body, organs and cells. It also can be about animals too.
