Reseña del editor:

Bring introductory nutrition into focus with a functional approach. The Science of Nutrition, Third Edition offers the best combination of text and media to help students master the toughest nutrition concepts in the course, while providing the richest support to save instructors time. This thoroughly current, research-based nutrition text is uniquely organized around the highly regarded applied approach, which organizes vitamins and minerals based on their functions within the body and is easily seen in the organization of the micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) chapters. Rather than requiring rote memorization, the authors present the micronutrients based on their functions (such as fluid and electrolyte balance, antioxidant function, bone health, energy metabolism, and blood health and immunity), so that students can fully understand their effects on the body. The Third Edition further helps students master nutrition content both in text and online. Ten New Focus Figure visuals walk students through the toughest nutrition concepts in the course, making difficult physiological processes easier to understand. These same Focus Figures are also available as assignable, gradable coaching activities with hints and wrong answer feedback within MasteringNutrition(TM). Expanded in-text and Mastering math activities provide students with math review and practice, and help better prepare the class while saving instructors time. Teaching and Learning Experience This program will provide a better teaching and learning experience-for you and your students. Here's how: * Clarify Tough Topics: The functional approach, unique In-Depth chapters, and Focus Figures all work together to bring clarity to concepts that are hard to understand. * Boost Critical Thinking: You do the Math, Nutritional Label activities, See for Yourself, Nutrition Myth or Fact?, and Nutri-Case features encourage students to think critically about nutrition. * Extend Learning: The new MasteringNutrition delivers proven results in helping students succeed, provides engaging experiences that personalize learning, and comes from a trusted partner with educational expertise and a deep commitment to helping students and instructors achieve their goals. * Support Instructors: Robust instructor tools, including the Instructor Resource DVD and Test Bank, help you plan your lecture and assess your students.
