From the Publisher
The body uses food to fuel its processes and to stay healthy. Receiving the proper nutrition through a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, meats, and whole grains is one way to help the body perform optimally. Staying hydrated and choosing the right nutrient-rich foods are other important factors. In Basic Nutrition, Second Edition, readers will learn about the six classes of nutrients, how each is broken down and used by the body, and how much of each nutrient an individual needs to maintain a healthy diet. Good nutrition is important for a healthy, long, and productive life. To function properly, the body must take in a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates, triglyceride lipids (fats and oils), and proteins. Healthy Eating: A Guide To Nutrition provides people of all ages with guidance for choosing and maintaining a healthy diet, and explores how nutrition plays a role in areas such as sports, weight loss, disease prevention, and human development.
