Nutrition Biophysics
An Introduction for Students, Professionals and Career ChangersDo you no longer understand the countless, contradictory dietary recommendations’ Do you find it difficult to distinguish between good and bad when it comes to cholesterol’ Are you torn between the various dietary rules and nutritional forms that come your way every day and despair of the term “healthy diet”‘ Or are you confronted professionally, e.g. as a consultant or fitness coach, with questions on the subject of nutrition and would like to learn the scientific basics’ The author Thomas Vilgis advises you to remain calm and to think objectively about all assumptions, presumptions, promises and suggestions for orientation. This book leads you off the beaten track and with a scientific, sober view to fundamental questions of nutrition. Starting with the nutritional history of Homo sapiens, the author guides you into the fundamental interplay between proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, what they do in the body, how they are digested, and what role they really play. Supporting you will find in the second edition various retrievable videos in which complex relationships are clearly explained. This quickly shows how little is hidden behind some dubious statements. With the claim of a scientific and molecular view of nutrition, it is possible to put into perspective and classify many a questionable recommendation on nutrition in an understandable and entertaining way.
