Nutrition and Health

As researchers learn more about the human body, they
also learn more about what keeps it healthy. Unfortunately, the realities of
daily life can often get in the way of putting this research into practice. For
example, increased stress at work or school and the wide availability of junk
food can cause people to eat poorly. Misinformation about the safety of vaccines
can put lives at risk. Readers learn to take control of their health as they
discover the most up-to-date information, supplemented by charts, graphs,
sidebars, and annotated quotes from medical experts.
