A good solid introduction to the world of Nutrition.

[Erika · Rating 5 out of 5]

Informative and interesting
Visually-appealing and colourful
Well-structured and organised
Clear and concise
-------------------------
A practical, detailed breakdown of food, its role, properties and everything that our body needs to survive and thrive; how the digestion processes work, what are some of the healthy food choices, busting myths along the way. How to best support every organ and part of your body. Eating habits and diets. Health conditions and how to keep them best in check. Everything is in sufficient detail, but explained in a simple and easily-graspable way. It's filled with useful infographics for visual learners and there's plenty practical info, helping you apply your new-found knowledge in your immediate food choices and eating habits. I have tried highlighting the essentials, but the book really contains mostly the essentials. If the subject interests you, you will find this even entertaining and a treasure-trove of nutritional science knowledge with a dash of biology and chemistry. Recommended to anyone with a body they'd like to know and understand better. Science, bitch!

I'll be sure to order me some more books from the Big Ideas Simply Explained Series.

All the basics with fun images, nothing gross. Would be good for people doing homeschool and want to teach their kids about the importance of nutrition or public school kids like me that never learned it in any of their classes. Just basic refinery and food knowledge, mixed with a few interesting facts about the future of our food production.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this quality, and well written, book about nutrition to my youngest son as part of his Food Technology elective. The information was well presented and it covered a lot of the curriculum points well.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a good overview of the basics of nutrition. It is easy to read with lots of illustrations. It contains lots of good information, some of which was a review for me and some of which was new to me. I plan on purchasing a copy to keep on my shelf.
