Nutrition, Health and Disease: A Lifespan Approach

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Bringing together key topics in basic science, clinical nutrition, and public health, Nutrition, Health and Disease is an easy-to-read, student-friendly textbook which clearly demonstrates how the body's demand for nutrients changes throughout life, and thus the variety of ways in which nutrition and diet affect health and disease.

The second edition of this successful text includes:

Expanded introductory material to ensure a firm grasp of key concepts
New content on vegetarian, vegan, kosher and other alternative diets
Dieting in adults
Gender and nutrition
Macro- and micronutrients
A range of new diagrams to support visual learners
Background on nutritional epidemiology and statistics.
Nutrition, Health and Disease: A Lifespan Approach is an ideal resource for the range of material a student or newly-qualified nutrition or dietetics professional needs to know.
