"Human Nutrition: Science for Healthy Living has been developed by a team of nutrition educators who have extensive college teaching experience and a passion for teaching relevant, student-centered nutrition, biology, health, and wellness courses. Our goals with this textbook are to teach students the science of nutrition while also preparing future healthcare professionals and to make the study of introductory human nutrition enjoyable. Learning about any science can be challenging if the information is not presented in an appealing, interesting manner. We've made a distinct effort to write the content of this book in an understandable way and to provide clear descriptions of concepts that can be difficult to convey, such as the processes of digestion, absorption, and energy metabolism. To enhance your learning, numerous illustrations and photographs accompany the narrative. Such graphics enhance learning for all students, but especially for those who are "visual learners." By reviewing this Preface, you will learn about the features of this book and how to use them to facilitate your study of human nutrition"-- Provided by publisher.
