Publisher's Synopsis
Unique to the market, Metabolic Nutrition: An Everyday Approach to Macronutrient Metabolism provides a less complicated and more applicable approach to learning about ATP and the multiple ways that cells can produce and use it. Metabolic Nutrition presents what happens from the time one takes a bite of food, how one's body digests the food, transports the nutrients to cells in his/her body, and stores it for later use. The publication uses real-life situations to understand metabolism and apply it. In addition, students receive access to the KHQ - online quizzing app to learn and assess key terms/content within the publication.Based on authors Deborah Good, Matthew Hulver, and Angela Anderson's years of classroom teaching experience, Metabolic Nutrition: An Everyday Approach to Macronutrient Nutrition:Discusses what happens after one's body has processed his/her most recent meal, and it needs to start relying on stored energy.Explains how one's body responds to and provides the needed energy when he/she goes from sitting to standing, resting to exercising, and how their body's metabolism changes in response to exercise training.Talks about how one's body responds when more energy (food) is consumed than it needs and describes metabolism in context of metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
