Summary:The latter covers guidelines for selecting an adequate diet, discusses alternative food patterns and their nutritional implications, describes the assessment of nutritional status, details nutritional requirements for specific populations and situations (infants, children, adolescents, adults, elderly, pregnancy, lactation, physical fitness), and includes a discussion of the national and international concerns regarding nutritional requirements and status. Copious data and illustrations are provided through out the text, and supplemental reference information is included in 13 appendices. Summaries, study questions, suggested readings, and discussions of specific nutritional issues and controversies are appended to each chapter. A comprehensive textbook for teachers and students in the field of nutrition focuses on providing students with the fundamentals concerning the current understanding of nutrition. The 22 text chapters are grouped under 2 central themes: the basic principles of nutrition; and specific areas involving applied nutrition. The former includes chapters detailing specific micro- and macro- nutrients, their intake (digestion, absorption, metabolism), and fundamental nutritional concepts (electrolyte balance, energy balance, weight control).
