This textbook provides support for the Nutrition and Metabolism and Human Body outcomes, but does not provide support for the Health Philosophies and Ethics and Diagnostics outcomes. The visually rich textbook presents 15 chapters to link nutrition to the function benefits, and includes features such as: Quick Tips to provide suggestions for incorporating better nutrition into daily life; a What About You? section that offers checklists and questionnaires for students to self-assess their understanding and nutritional habits; an Eating Right All Day section that suggests meals tied to chapter content on micro- and macronutrients and key body systems; and web links to the etext, classroom tools, and activities, such as the NutriTools link where students can apply their understanding of the content to create healthy meals. Each chapter concludes with review questions and a case study. This edition is Canadian, and follows Canadian food and healthy eating guidelines. It does not include First Nations and Métis content, perspectives, or ways of knowing.--Ministry of Education website.
