The twenty-first century edition of this groundbreaking work presents authoritative health and nutrition information available in an easy-to-use format and a friendly, engaging tone.
 
“An excellent guide for those wishing to make smarter dietary choices.”—Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Healthy Aging
 
Decades of practical experience and scientific research from Dr. Elson Haas and Dr. Buck Levin are compiled into one encyclopedic volume that features newly expanded chapters on special supplements, lifestage programs, and breakthrough medical treatment protocols for fatigue, viruses, weight management, and mental and mood disorders such as anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
 
Part One gives a detailed analysis of the building blocks of nutrition: water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and oils, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
Part Two evaluates food and diets, discussing every food group and most diets around the world. A special chapter on the environment and nutrition raises awareness and offers guidance about food additives, industrial chemicals, food irradiation, electro-pollution, and other health and ecological issues.
Part Three brings all of this nutritional information together, showing readers how to make wise and commonsense choices while building a healthy diet. A personalized eating plan for the year, the Ideal Diet is both seasonally and naturally based, and a healthy lifelong diet.
Part Four contains specific nutritional and life-style therapies for enhancing all stages of life and suggests treatments for common conditions and diseases such as aging, menopause, bone loss, weight loss, and cancer by focusing on nutritional applications: thirty-two special diet and supplemental programs.
 
Anyone interested in enhancing wellness, eating right, treating illness naturally, and living in harmony with nature will find Staying Healthy with Nutrition to be the ultimate handbook for optimal health and vitality.

Title: A very good Holistic view on Nutrition
Review: Written by a physician and a Registered Dietitian, these authors obviously did a lot research writing this book. They have included scientific information from both alternative and traditional nutrition camps but unlike the standard nutrition books written by most university trained dietitians, this book does show that nutrition can be used both to maintain health and help heal from disease. Tons of information about fats, carbs, proteins, vitamins and minerals and more are in this book. The authors tell you how the vitamins and minerals work in your body, what co-enzymes contain them, and even how they help your body function and heal. They even tackle the topics of additives and poisons in foods and the environment as well including sections on different diseases and conditions from alcoholism and cancer and how nutrition can help. I do disagree with some of the information on some of the nutrients such as the extremely small amount of vitamin D recommended and some of the views on Fluoride, and other items but it does not detract from the overall usefulness of the bookHaving said all that, reading a standard nutrition textbook first will greatly help with the understanding of the contents of this book. The author does seem to assume that most people have some basic understanding of how enzymes and cofactors function in the body and all that, and the reader has a basic understanding of the. metabolic pathways, and that is obviously not the caseOverall, however, do yourself a favor and purchase this book.

Title: Great comprehensive book on nutrition.
Review: This is exactly the book I've been looking for! Objective, to-the-point facts on nutrition, vitamins, eating habits, and other topics such as preservatives, toxins, etc. I've seen too many "fad" nutritional books that are biased toward either vegan/vegetarian, low carb, low fat, high fat-low carb, etc. This book seems to be objective enough to allow the readers to decide on their own what diet path to take. This book, a good diet, and exercise can stand on their own and I feel this book can last a long time as a good reference book. Personally, I prefer a well-rounded diet (including some red meat), chicken, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts. I lean toward organic or natural foods. Should readers decide to focus on another particular diet, they can supplement this book with one that follows their philosophy. I highly recommend this book as a stand alone or as a starting point to other diets.

Title: Detailed information
Review: This is a good one for your personal library. So much detail in this big book. If you are looking to increase your knowledge about diet and nutrition- above and beyond any article or book of the day style information, then buy this. It is well organized, has enough information to provide an education. It reminds me of some of the college text books I had to read, which I found appealing.

Title: One of the top books for learning about nutrition!
Review: Nutrition is a must with my husband and I, especially as we get older and wiser! This book is perfect for what anyone needs to know about good nutrition and why it is so important. It even has recipes, which I have tried, and they are great! It is quite a lot to read and that is fine with me - the more knowledge I get, the "smarter" I am in doing the right things to be healthy. Feeling great and positive is, and has always been, a high priority in my life. Great book!!!

Title: Reliable Resource for Nutritional Health Information
Review: There is a lot of useful information on the internet these days, however, when it comes to health, much of that information is trendy and subject to poor quality research. This book presents an extremely thorough and balanced approach to health and nutrition in a readable manner.This book isn't content with just telling you what to do, it breaks nutritional health down to basic elements and explains the functions with usable knowledge that will help you address situations that might not be directly covered in the book itself.I am going to use this book as supplementary material for homeschooling in addition to using it for practical health insights for myself and my family as a whole.This is a book that I would recommend every household to own.

Review: I bought this book as it was required for a nutrition course I am currently undertaking. It exceeded my expectations! It is very comprehensive yet easy to read if you are interested in/have a foundational knowledge of nutrition. I liked the format and found it to be well laid out with a great index at the back. I love the book and can see that it will be a very useful reference for life so in my opinion it is great value. The book arrived a few days later than advised by this supplier which was a little disappointing but not a problem.
