4PREFACE
Modern society is so busy that many do not bother about food they eat. Fast food is becoming the fashion of the day. It is understood that many diseases occur because of dietary problems such as overeating, undereating and deficient nutrients in the diet. It is believed that many diseases can be cured by food alone. The Essence of Nutrition is written in simple language. Effort has been taken to include all aspects of nutrition, constituents of food, deficiency diseases, diet for different age group, selection of food and preparation. Importance is given to the therapeutic diet.
This book is suitable for all undergraduate students of health and allied system of medicines students. Even common man can read and follow the book and improve their dietary habits.
