Description
This book presents on topics where there is much interest and where there have been important developments in recent years for the field of nutrition. Spanning 15 chapters, this book will cover research methods in nutrition; phytochemicals in health and the prevention of disease; obesity, its causes and effective treatments including diet, surgery, and drugs; coronary heart disease and the role of diet; ultra-processed foods and their relationship to health and disease; healthy alternatives to the Western diet including the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet, and vegetarian diets; health promotion and the importance of government policy; front-of pack food labels; genomics including genomic medicine; microbiome including the potential value of prebiotics; sustainable foods including aspects of climate change relevant to food; and the food industry.
Pocket Primer for Nutritional Health is great for nutrition researchers, nutrition professors, dietitians, and can be used for senior undergrad and grad courses.

Ted Wilson, PhD, is a Professor of Biology at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota. His research is primarily devoted to understanding the effects of cranberry juice and other common foods on cardiovascular disease, antioxidant capacity, glycemic control, and weight loss effects related to the consumption of low-carbohydrate diets. He also maintains an interest in the physiological mechanisms responsible for acclimation to high altitude and the physiology of cardiac function. He has 48 peer-reviewed publications and has edited/co-edited 8 books. He has co-edited several books with Norman Temple on the topic of human nutrition in health and disease. He teaches courses in nutrition, cell biology, cardiac physiology, human physiology, and anatomy.
