Understanding Nutrition
Nutrition is a very popular topic in the media, whether it's the benefits of a recently discovered 'superfood' or a 'food scare' about hidden dangers in certain foods or their methods of preparation—the innumerable diets and lifestyle plans can be overwhelming and confusing. This book aims to help you understand the principles of nutrition, including:
- The importance of nutrition
- Macronutrients (carbohydrates, starches, sugars, fats & proteins)
- Micronutrients (vitamins, minerals & phytochemicals)
- Nutrition and specific health problems
- Weight control
- Choices - what to eat & when to eat
- Making the transition to a healthier diet (vegan or vegetarian, meal planning, calorie counting, fasting & more).
The main factor in diet and health is getting the right amount of the right kid of food, and the most effective way of combating the obesity epidemic is by taking responsibility of personal choices in diet and lifestyle.
