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 U.S. military's concerns about the individual combat service member's ability to avoid performance degradation, in conjunction with the need to maintain both mental and physical capabilities in highly stressful situations, have led to and interest in developing methods by which commanders can monitor the status of the combat service members in the field. This report examines appropriate biological markers, monitoring technologies currently available and in need of development, and appropriate algorithms to interpret the data obtained in order to provide information for command decisions relative to the physiological "readiness" of each combat service member. More specifically, this report also provides responses to questions posed by the military relative to monitoring the metabolic regulation during prolonged, exhaustive efforts, where nutrition/hydration and repair mechanisms may be mismatched to intakes and rest, or where specific metabolic derangements are present.

Exercise by itself tears down the body. To rebuild that body so that it expresses greater strength, endurance, and speed, requires sound nutritional practices based on fact rather than fad. Those practices must also recognize that specific needs vary greatly according to age, gender, and intensity of exercise. Sports Nutrition: Energy Metabo

Nutrition: Real People, Real Choices is a unique and engaging new text that gives instructors flexibility that they've never had before in an introductory nutrition course. Maintaining the appropriate level of science, Nutrition: Real People, Real Choices presents nutrition in the "Plate to Mouth" format that ensures that students learn about the science of nutrition as they deal with it everyday; by learning about the food on their plate first (the macronutrients), what happens as they eat it (with digestion and metabolism), and how that gives them energy for their body (with discussion of the micronutrients). In addition, instructors have the added flexibility of being able to assign and test-on "hot topic" coverage as features are integrated within the text (rather than being relegated to screened boxes). This text gives student real and practical information they can apply to their daily lives in a context they can understand. Practical information includes Self-Assessments, Case Studies, and cutting-edge content, encouraging students to apply what they have learned to their own life.
