THE only nutrition guide you need,
By marc (boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jane Brody's Nutrition Book: A Lifetime Guide to Good Eating for Better Health and Weight Control by the Award-Winning Columnist of The New York Times (Paperback)
What a great book this is! It's definitely a reference guide, but if you're taken with the wonders of health and your body, this is the best book I've seen to help explain the details. It was referred to me by my doctor, who keeps one in his office.In simple yet sufficiently detailed terms, it explains how your body processes fats, carbs, protein, vitamins, minerals, etc. and derives benefits from them. It also examine other things we eat like sugar, coffee, alcohol, etc. It brushes on infancy, women, and athletes as well. My roommates and I have read this book numerous times over the months whenever we have a question about what we're putting in our mouths and how our bodies will handle it. Since reading the book, I've modified my eating and have noticed a huge positive difference in my energy level and overall healthy feeling throughout the day. But it, and if you have other books that are similar, please let me know.

This is a really great reference book on Nutrition. I refer to it often. Easy to read and easy to understand. And, it is filled with basic nutrition information and none of the hype you find on things like aspartame and other artificial sweeteners, vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates/protein/fats, etc. There are many referrals to groups with more information on things that are not covered in detail, like La Leche League for breastfeeding support and information. Each of her 27 chapters ends with book referrals. It is a must for every household.

This classic, by The New York Times health columnist, is a well researched guide to better health and weight control, based on a diet of complex carbohydrates -- rice, potatoes, pasta and beans. Includes delicious recipes, special diets (for joggers, pregnant women, the elderly), as well as calorie and nutrition charts.
