Riassunto

For the new edition, chapters have been combined and condensed to streamline content to fit the needs of faculty who teach shorter courses. This reorganization helped eliminate redundancy of material throughout the text and includes content that is most relevant for the course. This new edition includes the latest developments in nutrition fundamentals, nutrition across the life span, and the management of chronic and acute illnesses. Popular features such as Facts & Fallacies, Teaching Pearls, and Critical Thinking Case Studies have been retained in this edition. A new chapter on Insulin Resistance Syndrome has been added to outline the current knowledge base of this syndrome as it relates to common health conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and Type 2 diabetes.
