Nutrition is a topic of wide interest and importance. In spite of
growing understanding of the underlying biochemistry, and health
campaigns such as 'five-a-day', increasing obesity and reported food
allergies and eating disorders, as well as the widely advertised
'supposed' benefits of food supplements mean that a clear explanation
of the basic principles of a healthy diet are vital. In this Very
Short Introduction, David Bender explains the basic elements of food,
the balance between energy intake and exercise, the problems of over-
and under-nutrition, and raises the question of safety of nutritional
supplements. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series
from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost
every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to
get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts,
analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting
and challenging topics highly readable.
