Buen curso
Fantástico!. Muy completo e interesante!
Complet, intéressant et bien transmis
Un curso muy interesante para incidir en la importancia que tiene una correcta alimentación como base para la salud en general y para la salud cerebral y creativa en particular. Es muy fácil dejar la alimentación en segundo plano, con las prisas diarias, cuando es algo básico para que todo funcione correctamente. ¡Gracias por recordar!
Es un curso muy completo y me ha gustado mucho que tenga contenido para personas con TDHA!
