It shows how proper diet can help one live a healthier, more active and more productive life. Discussions are on how one can analyze his/her diet according to the latest findings on food content and recommended daily allowances. Most of the current data about specific nutrients, metabolism, digesion, weight control, modern nutritional def iciencies, and the role of nutrition in disease are discussed.
