Nutrition: A Functional Approach, Canadian Edition, 4th edition

Nutrition: A Functional Approach began with our conviction that students and instructors would both benefit from an accurate and clear textbook that links nutrients to their functional benefits. Students have a natural interest in their bodies, their health, their weight, and their success in sports and other activities. By demonstrating how nutrition relates to these interests, this text empowers students to reach their personal health and fitness goals. Throughout the text, material is presented in a lively narrative that continually links the facts to students' circumstances, lifestyles, and goals. Information on current events and research keeps the inquisitive spark alive, illustrating that nutrition is truly a “living” science, and a source of considerable debate.
