Do you need vitamin and mineral supplements? Are you eating too much fat and cholesterol? Is much of what you eat unsafe? Are some foods actually junk foods? If you’re confused about what you should eat, this book will help you begin to sort out some of these issues as you are introduced to the science of nutrition.
Variety, balance, and moderation are the foundations of a healthy diet. A desirable nutritional state results when the body has enough nutrients to function fully and contains stores to use in times of increased needs. When nutrient intake fails to meet body needs, undernutrition develops. Symptoms of such an inadequate nutrient intake can take months or years to develop. Overloading the body with nutrients, leading to overnutrition, is another potential problem to avoid. Nutritional state can be assessed by using anthropometric measurements, biochemical evidence, clinical evaluation, and diet history.
Comprehensive overviews of the dietary essentials are presented in the chapters that include: • Modern Concept of Dietary Essentials
• Carbohydrates in Nutrition • Lipids in Nutrition• Proteins and Amino Acids • Nutritional Value of Proteins
• Calcium, Phosphorus, and Magnesium • Sodium, Potassium and Chlorine • Iron, Copper and Nutritional Anaemias • Iodine and Its relation to Thyroid Function
