Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a classic text by the author, discusses digestion, nutrition, and their effects on health. It begins with the broad perspective on nutrition, food types, and their digestion and absorption. The author then moves to a more detailed and specific look at food in relation to body temperature, climate and social activities. The author covers topics such as the role of nitrogenous elements in tissue repair, non-nitrogenous elements in generating body heat, the influence of climate and living conditions on dietary needs, and the effects of exercise on the body with relation to food and nutrition. The book concludes by discussing how these various factors are interconnected and how they work together in determining human health and nutrition. The author takes a scientific approach, rooting much of the material in physiology, and takes a balanced view, acknowledging that dietary needs vary with individual factors.
