Features: A truly comprehensive nutrition encyclopedia for everyone. What is your dietary habit? Do you solve three meals a day by going to fast-food restaurants, or supplement your energy with a variety of vitamins, or spend a lot of money to lose weight and slim down? Remember: these are not reasonable dietary habits! This book provides various new knowledge and concepts of modern nutrition to awaken people to pay attention to the nutritional value of food, "making food both prevent and treat diseases, to promote good health and avoid the suffering of illness." This is not a textbook of nutrition, nor an emergency first-aid guide, nor a beauty and weight-loss recipe book, but The Family Nutrition Advisor can guide you:
Recognize basic nutrients—water, salt, fat, fiber
Understand the nutritional needs of different age groups—pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, old age, and vegetarians
Provide nutritional care for physiological metabolic disorders—cancer, cardiovascular disease, gout, anemia, obesity, hypertension, and osteoporosis
Apply nutrition to daily life—self-assessment of health status, how to choose vitamins, what are healthy foods
This book is your all-weather The Family Nutrition Advisor.
