This text introduces the reader to nutritional theory, and by considering everday eating practice, applies this to the maintenance of health and prevention of disease. Chapters in book focus on the nutritional requirements of different age groups in the population. Situations which might compromise nutritional status, the role of diet in chronic disease and the importance of health promotion are also discussed. All chapters contain aims, objectives and key point summaries, and the text is supported by tables, figures and diagrams.
