Summary

Praise for the previous print edition:

"...recommended..."—American Reference Books Annual

"...a one-stop introduction to nutrition...useful..."—Booklist

"Recommended."—Choice

Eating the right foods and getting enough exercise can fight or prevent diseases and lead to longer life. Yet today one-third of Americans are obese due to poor eating habits and sedentary living. At the same time more food choices are available than ever before—from organic produce to light meals to fast food and genetically modified foods—making it sometimes confusing to choose the right things to eat. The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health, Third Edition provides clear, concise nutritional guidance about smart eating and lifestyle choices.

Updated with the latest data, developments, and statistics, this A-to-Z resource is essential for learning the basics about how food choices can help maintain optimum health and beat diseases. More than 2,000 articles cover basic nutrition; the health benefits and dangers of various foods; diseases and health disorders related to nutrition; food ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, and proteins; the side effects of processed foods; food allergies; eating disorders; and much more.

Topics include:

  • Body mass index
  • Cancer and diet
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Cholesterol-lowering drugs
  • Electrolytes and essential nutrients
  • Fiber and disease prevention
  • Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
  • Meat contaminants
  • Milk and lactose intolerance
  • Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA).
