Description

Nutrition is the science that studies the effect of nutrients on the growth, reproduction and maintenance of the body, including health and disease. A healthy diet is largely achieved by the preparation and storage of food in a manner conducive to the preservation of nutrients and quality. Various deficiency-related diseases arise because of an unbalanced diet that does not consist of the appropriate nutrients in the right proportions. These include scurvy, anemia, blindness, goiter, etc. Similarly, many health conditions like obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc. occur when there is an excess of certain nutrients in a regular diet. Nutrients are of two types, macro and micronutrients. Macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fiber and water. Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals. This book is a comprehensive text that addresses the vital aspects of food and health science. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. Scientists and students actively engaged in food and nutrition science will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
