I rented the textbook “Nutrition for Health and Health Care” for my Nutrition in Health Care course at the University of Cincinnati. As a nursing student, I found this book to be easy and simple to use. The book is basically broken into two sections, nutrition for health and nutrition for health care. The beginning of the book provides basic information on nutrition for health, which could provide non-academic use to those with a general interest in nutrition. The end of the book discusses nutrition for a variety of disease and disorders and health care. This section provides more in depth information on nutrition and is more for academic use, in which it serves more as a reference to health care professionals and may not be applicable for some people.I found this book to be extremely easy to read. I don’t consider myself much of a reader, but this textbook was easy for me to get through. The text is written in a way that breaks down difficult concepts and is written in simple language that is easy to comprehend. The very front of the book provides a chart of the Recommended Dietary Allowances and Adequate Intakes for water, energy (calories), and nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein, fat, etc.). This is very convenient and helpful when searching for this type of information. Rather than searching through the textbook, the chart allows you to quickly find these values. In addition, the chapters are well organized. The textbook starts off with basic information about digestion and macromolecules, moves onto minerals and vitamins, then discusses nutrition throughout the lifespan, and finishes with nutrition for different diseases and disorders.
