New "Healthy People 2010" material (integrated throughout) reflects the latest health goals for the next decade.

Every chapter in this accessible, visually exciting book is designed to inform your students and involve them in nutrition. Students will find many features, activities, and unique Web resources to help them apply chapter concepts. For example, a new "Think Nutrition" feature reminds students to consider nutrition issues when encountering clients with varied clinical diagnoses . . . while case studies, clinical application exercises, and other features teach students how to apply their knowledge in the field.
