Nutrition Concepts Applied to Everyday Life

Nutrition: An Applied Approach introduces nutrition to non-majors in an innovative format that promotes long-term learning without memorization. It covers key areas of nutrition, including vitamin and mineral function in the body, water and electrolyte balance, antioxidant function, bone health, energy metabolism, and blood health. The fifth edition includes new chapters on food equity, sustainability, and obesity, and shows how nutrition concepts apply to our daily lives. New ABC News videos and focus figures explore nutrition, human disease, and nutrients in food. To engage students and help them learn, understand, and retain even the most challenging concepts, each chapter includes learning outcomes and a new learning plan that leads to Mastering™ Nutrition reading quizzes and exercises.
