Nutrition Essentials

Designed for the introductory course for students who are not majoring in the field, titled Nutrition Practical Applications, this text prepares learners to sift through the flood of health and diet advice they meet every day. It shows them how to tell reliable information from misinformation and how to bring sound findings into their routines.

Drawing on current research, the authors present nutrition science in clear language that every student can follow, and they press readers to take charge of their diet, physical health, and overall well-being.

With a broad set of teaching and learning features woven through its chapters, the book helps readers track, understand, and change their own eating habits.
