Presentation

Year after year the number of therapists and people who have an interest in both young people and families for a healthier diet and a healthier health care is increasing. Proof of this is the growing number of companies in the food, naturist and pharmaceutical sectors that are offering the market products that coexist with this new philosophy of healthy and healthy life and at the same time the television channels are broadcasting programs that promote a healthy life .

Diet therapy is the therapy that is based on the prevention and improvement of diseases or the elimination of their symptoms, through the foods that we eat or those that we eliminate from the diet.

Not only must take into account the nutritional properties, also we must consider the manipulations and processes to which food is subject, as well as the methods of cultivation or aging of the plants or animals that we ingest.

Since prehistory, animals have been able to regulate food intake to correct imbalances in health or to attenuate symptoms, an example of this can be found in our pets, which by "instinct", are purged by eating certain plants or by doing fasting, when they feel bad.

Humans have not lost this instinct at all, the problem is that we do not listen to our organism, who has not felt at a certain moment rejection for a food, has taken it, and subsequently it has been wrong, or in certain occasions you have the need to drink, something sweet, or salty.

Diet therapy is used very frequently by allopathic medicine, and almost always, in Holistic medicine, although not always with the same criteria.

For this holistic therapies take into account the denaturation that occurs in certain forms of preparation or preservation of food such as, for example, the use of microwaves, fried or smoked.

On the other hand it is increasingly demanding greater knowledge on the part of society for a healthier diet accompanied by the use of nutritional supplements such as medicinal plants.

Therefore, the student decides in this expert university program if he wants to specialize with Phytotherapy (medicinal plants) or orthomolecular therapy (nutritional supplements).

Therefore, this program seeks that people who develop it acquire some knowledge about orthomolecular therapy to know its positive effects as well as its contraindications according to the person taking into account that more and more pharmacies and parapharmacies offer these nutritional supplements.

In the same way those who decide on medicinal plants are a very topical market, since their consumption is high and the sales produced are so high that they require a labor market of specialists who direct their efforts towards a greater knowledge of medicinal plants and, of course, to inform about the benefits and risks that may derive from their consumption.

You can request the validation of credits for the own Master in Naturopathy and Parapharmacy (60 ECTS), for the own university expert in orthomolecular therapy (24 ECTS), for the university expert in phytotherapy (24 ECTS); as long as the admission requirements of each title are met.

Main features of online mode:

• Personalized tutoring by teachers specialized in the subject, who promote learning and guide the student. The interactive community of the campus favors communication between teachers and students and allows the student's evolution according to their possibilities.
• Promotes student participation . The student is in permanent contact with his classmates and his teacher. Likewise, continuous assessment (forums, debates, group exercises, emails) favors motivation for learning. All the partners and teachers participate in their training (sharing doubts, ideas and clarifications), and a feedback effect is produced by both parties.
• It is more flexible because there are no schedules or limited time. The student chooses when he wants to study and for how long. This allows adapting the course to each specific need.
• The faculty of the Campus remains active from the month of September until the month of July. During the month of August the student continues to have access to the Campus to review lessons or catch up on the issues that are delayed.
• Continuous evaluation . The student is evaluated taking into account its evolutionary process throughout the course. Thus, from the beginning of the course to the end of the course, it will be evaluated through different processes: exercises, tests, exams, work, participation in forums, etc. and the sum of all these tests, will result in the final grade of course. The student's results are studied by an academic committee for later validation.
• Follow-up learning . The ISMET online training system allows students to check their progress throughout their learning process. In this sense, the student is fully aware at all times of his current academic situation, and therefore can adapt his level of study to the needs of each moment. For the passing of the subjects are not realized (at the moment and waiting to be regulated by the administration) face-to-face exams.
