Nutrition A Health Promotion Approach

Nutrition A Health Promotion Approach
Oxford University Press, USA; 3rd edition | 2008 | ISBN-10: 034093882X | 560 pages | PDF | 3.1 MbThe third edition of this highly regarded introductory textbook continues to cover all aspects of nutrition, including nutritional epidemiology, social aspects of nutrition, the science of food as a source of energy and essential nutrients, and the microbiological safety of food and food processing. Its focus is on nutrition in industrialized nations where nutritional deficiencies in the traditional sense are less of an issue, but the roles of diet in causing or preventing chronic disease and maintaining good 'life-long' health and well-being are gaining ever-increasing attention. The importance of goodhealth promotion is therefore a guiding principle throughout the book, supported by a section devoted to health promotion theory.
