"Nutrition in Your Life" chapter openers introduce and engage students in chapter material by connecting what they will be learning with how it applies to their lives. These vignettes are revisited at the end of each chapter in the "Nutrition Portfolio" sections.
"How To" boxes throughout the text provide step-by-step explanations of nutrition calculations, proven strategies for assisting clients with dietary changes, and an immediate opportunity to apply the information through new "Try It" exercises.
End-of-chapter "Clinical Portfolio" questions use case studies to help students understand how to apply the nutrition information from the text to real-life scenarios. Students can build their critical-thinking skills by having them evaluate a variety of experiences and answer questions based on their knowledge.
"Case Study" exercises challenge students to plan nutrition education, counseling, or support for a realistic clinical situation.
"Highlight" sections follow each chapter and present detailed and focused information on hot topics in the field, including vegetarian diets, alcohol and nutrition, osteoporosis and calcium, and probiotics and intestinal health. A new "Highlight" on the role of carbohydrates in weight gain and loss is included in Chapter 4.
