Nutrition and the healthy adult.
Great public concern over the constituents of diets, encouraged by widely publicised and often conflicting advice on what constitutes 'healthy' and 'unhealthy' items, is placing pressures on nurses to understand the nutritional make-up of foods and their uses and abuses. Anne Halliday takes a general look at the requirements of the healthy adult and suggests that there is a need for individuals to review the nature of their whole diet, not merely one or two constituents of it. Nurses will find her article invaluable from a personal as well as professional perspective.
