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 across throughout life and thus the variety of ways in which nutrition and diet affect health and disease. The second edition of this successful text now includes expanded introductory material to ensure a firm grasp of key concepts, and 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; and background on nutritional epidemiology and statistics. Nutrition, Health and Disease: A Lifespan Approach is an ideal resource for consolidation of the range of material a student or newly–qualified nutrition or dietetics professional needs to know.
