Description

Research has shown that the more information people have about what makes a healthy diet, the more likely they are to eat in a healthy way. This book addresses issues such as the components of a healthy meal, the positive and negative impacts that food can have on the body, and the various illnesses that can be either caused or eased with good or bad diet choices. We have all heard the old saying, "you are what you eat." The six volumes in Health & Nutrition will explain the many ways in which the food choices you make every day can help or hurt your body's functioning. The books also look at physical fitness, the importance of good hygiene, and the many challenges of keeping food safe from contamination. From the key components of a balanced diet to avoiding foodborne illnesses, and from the impact of stress on health to how malnutrition hurts the body, these books are packed with useful information about protecting and improving your health.
