Description
This practical and easy to understand book is about eating well.
Americans are deluged with nutritional information and advice, much of it either dangerously unsound or too technical to be eaily followed. Yet, achieving optimal nutrition is possible by following some very simple rules of good eating, distilled here in Your Guide to Good Nutrition.
The authors include chapters on nutrition basics and a balanced diet; how to evaluate nutrition information; vitamin and mineral supplements; "health foods" and related products; junk foods and fast foods; additives; practical weight control; balanced vegetarian diets; the truth about sugar; "fluid facts"; tips for teenagers; diet, heart disease and cancer.
Appendices include a listing of recommended dietary allowances, a glossary of terms, and a useful bibliography.
