This easy-to-read book gives a general introduction to food and healthy lifestyles. The author describes the various nutrients in food, how to keep them in food, and how to stay healthy through food choices and exercise. She also includes lots of nutritious recipes.
The author breaks down the nutritional needs of women, men, children, and athletes. I wish that she said more about men's health, though; she mainly directed men on how to avoid heart disease and diabetes.
