Description: About this productSynopsisThe book “Understanding Nutrition” from Cengage Learning breaks down the sometimes complicated subject of nutrition and helps the average reader understand the impact that diets – healthy or unhealthy – have on personal health. Written by Eleanor Noss Whitney and Sharon Rady Rolfes, this updated version published in 2015 features new topics and information that offers an even deeper and clearer look at nutrition. This edition of “Understanding Nutrition” contains 20 chapters and covers lifespan nutrition, diet and health, vitamins and minerals, calcium, fitness, food safety, world hunger, macro nutrients, and diet planning. Designed as an introduction to nutrition and food, “Understanding Nutrition" combines traditional book learning with interactive activities that help reinforce a healthy diet. Through this book, Whitney and Rolfes teach students about the various nutrients people need to be healthy, as well as which foods are the most nutritious and rich in nutrients. Readers of the book also study the average nutrient content in many of the most common foods consumed each day. This best-selling nutrition book with over 1 million readers is ideal for anyone wanting a better understanding of food and nutrition guidelines, but it is also designed for the classroom instructor with high standards and the student who wants a user-friendly guide to this complex subject. “Understanding Nutrition" covers science and nutrition information at the introductory level, giving nutrition majors a solid foundation for the rest of their learning experience and for their future careers. Plus, students learn by applying the information to their own lives via the Nutrition Portfolio section at the end of each chapter. This section asks students to review their dietary habits and nutritional choices, as well as use the accompanying Diet & Wellness Plus digital app to set healthy nutrition goals. The book features plenty of content for instructors to assign to students to help them apply what they’ve learned, as well as several how-to tasks within the chapters that help students refine their practical diet- and nutrition-related skills. These how-to sections cover real-world health tasks, such as calculating the energy intake from the different components of food, including carbohydrates. There’s also a companion online program called MindTap for nutrition that can help students further cement what they’ve learned for optimal results from this comprehensive program. With this book, students learn everything they need to know to embark on an even more in-depth look at the link between nutrition, food, and health.Product IdentifiersISBN-101305396456ISBN-139781305396456eBay Product ID (ePID)203437707Key DetailsAuthorEleanor Noss Whitney, Sharon Rady RolfesNumber Of Pages928 pagesFormatRingboundPublication Date2015-01-01LanguageEnglishPublisherCengage LearningPublication Year2015Additional DetailsEdition Number14Copyright Date2016IllustratedYesDimensionsWeight69.7 OzHeight1.3 In.Width8.9 In.Length10.9 In.Target AudienceGroupCollege AudienceClassification MethodLC Classification NumberQP141.W46 2016Dewey Decimal613.2Dewey Edition23
