We eat several times a day. It is therefore important that we know what our foods contain, and what happens to this food. We should also know why we need the constituents of foods. This book helps us to choose better the foods we eat. We eat food every day, but what the food contains and what happens to it is known only to a few. Some very fascinating aspects like what a balanced diet means, how food is digested in the digestive system, some common food fads and taboos, food for babies, pregnant women and nursing mothers, special diets, food spoilage, covered to acquaint the reader with this very important part of our health.
