Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease has been
proving itself in the classroom for nearly 10 years and is praised
as being accessible, applicable and a valuable textbook. It focuses
specifically on the relationship between disease and nutrition, an
area of ever increasing interest and concern as health care costs
and availability continue to be an issue worldwide. Now reaching
beyond just the individual healthcare concern, the potential for
nutritional interventions to improve health status is also of
heightened interest to public health professionals who are faced
with an aging, obese, at-risk-of-diabetes population who may or may
not have access to insurance. This textbook is the foundation of
understanding how nutrition can be used to improve health
status.
