Synopsis

The Right Balance for your Nutrition Course!

Nutrition: Science and Applications First Canadian Edition guides students towards an understanding of the scientific principles underlying what they know about nutrition. The text’s strong coverage of the science of nutrition balanced with excellent applications and Canadian iProfile software will help students gain effective decision-making skills about nutritional choices. It will prepare students for their future studies and careers as well as apply the science to their everyday lives. 

Effective use of Canadian content integrated throughout the text enables students to identify with situations and examples in the textbook. Chapter 2 has an extensive exploration of the history and evolution of Canada’s Food Guide (CFG). Instructors no longer have to do independent research to include Canadian content into lectures.

The research-based scientific content is detailed and supported by figures and comprehensive real-life examples that help students easily visualize complex processes. Using a critical thinking approach, the book contains many questions and exercises that require interpretation of research results and give the student an opportunity to apply the concepts learned – both as consumers and as future scientists and health professionals.
