Nutrition and You Value Pack (includes MyNutritionLab with MyDietAnalysis Student Access Kit for Nutrition and You & MyDietAnalysis 2.0 CD-ROM) - Softcover
Synopsis
Nutrition and You incorporates a personalized approach to students’ nutritional concerns and interests in a readable, engaging, and motivating style. The photos, illustrations, and text present each vitamin and mineral in self-contained spreads, called Visual Summary Tables, that appeal to students’ propensity for visual learning. This format enables students to identify the key aspects of each nutrient at a glance and in a consistent and easy-to-study format.
The book’s personalized features ask students to relate the science of nutrition to their own dietary habits, while allowing them to separate fact from fiction and to distinguish high quality nutrient sources from those of lesser quality. This approach teaches students to think critically about information sources and the claims made in the popular press and online. The text’s comprehensive package includes supplements developed to address instructor and student needs, with media components developed specifically to complement the book’s strengths.
