Synopsis
Discover how the foods you eat power your body, from energy to growth and everyday regulation.
This accessible guide lays out what food is, how it works in the body, and how to choose and prepare meals that support health, growth, and steady energy throughout the day. It brings together clear explanations of nutrients, cooking basics, and practical dietary ideas for a well‑rounded, affordable diet.
The book introduces the five general nutrient groups—water, mineral matter, protein, fat, and carbohydrate—and shows how different foods supply each one. It explains how carbohydrates and fats provide energy, how protein builds tissue, and how minerals support body processes. It also covers how cooking and preparation affect nutrition, and why a wise diet matters for people of all ages.
What you’ll experience:
- Plain explanations of nutrients and how they function in the body
- Guidance on selecting foods for protein, energy, and mineral needs
- Practical cooking notes and preparation ideas for a varied diet
