Description

What we eat is important, but what does healthy eating look like and how can we create dietary habits that nourish us physically and emotionally?

Part of the Q&A Health Guides series, this book offers a broad introduction to healthy eating – a topic that is often shrouded in confusion and misinformation. The book’s 53 questions cover the basics of nutritional science, how diet affects physical and mental health, common dietary approaches, concerns about particular foods, and barriers that may prevent individuals from establishing and maintaining healthy eating habits. Healthy Eating: Your Questions Answered synthesizes the vast field of nutritional science into a compact and easy-to-digest volume that offers readers common-sense, evidence-based suggestions to improve their eating habits and steer clear of potentially harmful fad diets.

Augmenting the main text, a collection of 5 case studies illustrate key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations. The Common Misconceptions section at the beginning of the volume dispels 5 long-standing and potentially dangerous myths about healthy eating, directing readers to additional information in the text. The glossary defines terms that may be unfamiliar to readers, while the directory of resources curates a list of the most useful books, websites, and other materials. Finally, whether they’re looking for more information about this subject or any other health-related topic, readers can turn to the Guide to Health Literacy section for practical tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both on and off the internet.
