Nutrition : An Applied Approach

Nutrition: An Applied Approach presents introductory nutrition to non-majors in an applied format that discourages memorization and promotes long-term understanding of the material.

The applied nature of the book is reflected in the functional organization of the micronutrient chapters.

With so many vitamins and minerals, their accompanying toxicity and deficiency symptoms, and their key food sources to remember, students can quickly become overwhelmed.

The book's comprehensive media package includes diet analysis software that enables students to determine the nutritional value of their meals and an open-access companion website that offers text specific activities and quizzes, answers to questions posed in the Nutri-Case case studies, flashcards, and current news articles to help students get the most out of the class.
