Oxford Handbook of Nutrition and Dietetics, 3rd Edition

 
The importance of nutrition in the prevention and treatment of disease
and the maintenance of good health is being increasingly recognised.
Nutrition is an area that all health professionals need to be aware of
and yet one in which few are specifically trained. However it is now
becoming a valued topic in many curricula. The Oxford Handbook of Nutrition and Dietetics
makes this information more accessible to dieticians, doctors, nurses,
nutritionists, and other healthcare professionals by providing a
practical, easily accessible, concise and up-to-date evidence-based
guide in a user-friendly portable handbook. It covers the entire life
cycle from preconception to old age. As the general public is
increasingly aware of the food they eat and the role nutrition plays in
health and disease, health professionalsmust have the kind of knowledge
in this book at their fingertips.
