American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide

Food nourishes us in many ways. Eating is one of life’s pleasures. Food is tied to memories of
our youth and to social occasions, celebrations, and other aspects of our culture. Food also fuels our bodies. What we eat is a controllable factor in keeping us as healthy and as fit as possible.

The fundamentals for fostering a healthy body remain constant. A well-balanced approach to eating and getting plenty of rest and physical activity are, and always have been, keys to good health. Research about nutrition and its impact on everything from childhood development to disease control and prevention, however, shows that our knowledge about the role of nutrition in a healthful lifestyle is continually evolving. Since the last published edition of this book, scientists have made exciting discoveries about nutrition and how much it can affect our overall health. We now know more about health-promoting substances in fruits, vegetables, and grain products called phytonutrients. We have expanded the way we look at vitamins and minerals. Consumers are increasingly turning to “alternative” medicine and therapies to treat or prevent disease. In addition, the impact of biotechnology on the food supply is changing the way we think about how our food is grown and processed.

All these important issues and more are discussed in the second edition of the American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide. Written and reviewed by qualified nutrition practitioners—registered dietitians and dietetic technicians, registered— the book is scientifically based. But more than that, it is practical and easy to understand. Registered dietitians counsel people to attain optimal health by eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods with an emphasis on taste, quality, moderation, balance, and food safety.

In the second edition of the American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide, Roberta Duyff shows you how to maximize your health while enjoying food. Her practical suggestions are backed up by the latest scientific evidence, as well as by her extensive experience as a registered dietitian. Best of all, the book can serve as a reference for your entire family’s health—and it’s right at your fingertips.
