This is an excellent read. I should state that I am in nursing school so much of the terminology is familiar. However, it does to an excellent job of breaking down the components of health, nutrients and diet so the reader can stop ODing on vitamin supplements and understand how to treat themselves better for their long-term health and goals.
This book was required for my Nutrition class for the RN program. Before starting the class I had been searching for a book with FDA/RDA vitamins, minerals, supplements, conditions, and dosages. Well I shortly found out after getting my book in that this has EVERYTHING!!!! From BMI, health guidelines, etc, you name it, it's in here! This is the best way to know what you need to know, as these days you really have to be your own doctor before going to the doctor with the amount of prescription meds thrown at us! It doesn't matter who you are, this book will help you in every aspect of health that you can think of and is MORE than worth the price! You will learn more about conditions and nutrition than you can imagine from 1 textbook!
Great and comprehensive book for soon to be nurses and medical/dietectics/nutrition classes and majors. Goes into great explanations and examples for how nutrition can work and heal your body and our current medical interventions for specific ailments and how the treat each with nutrition. The pathological expanded explanations make it applicable to real world medical examples and not just learning about nutrition basics
I ordered this book for my RN-MSN class for WGU. I thought it was well written and loved the illustrations. I will keep this book for my office as reference.
The book was in great condition and came in a very timely manner. The book is very easy to read and all the tables are very useful.
Great book, very informative. I rented it for my Nutritional Class for Nursing school, and I wish I had purchased it instead.
The book isn't bad...very informative and I learned quite a bit. However, I got it used and whomever highlighted had obviously never highlighted before...it was hard to read through all her drawings.
This book was perfect for my nursing degree. It provides an abundance of information. I still use it, even thought I no longer need it!
