Simply Nutrition: For Complete Beginners (DK Simply)

I like DK books because,they are informative, nice layouts, and colourful.

I bought this book as I'm dieting and it takes me back to my biology A-level. Great facts, repetitive but the right kind of repetition in parts and highly entertaining if you're interested in all things sciencey. Do buy!!

Exactly what I needed to learn more on vitamins , nutrients and plant based food .. really nicely formatted ..great book

Bought for my 12 year old son as he shows interest in nutrition, he loves the book, easy to read, good illustration!

I've generally interested in nutrition and have had various books on the subject, but thought it'd be nice to get a simpler book with a more visual approach to help me memorise facts and also generally learn more about what we're putting into our bodies.I was super impressed upon receiving this. First things first, I absolutely love the graphics. The book is illustrated in such a simple way that easily conveys information and breaks it up into bitesize pieces.At no point does any information feel overwhelming or boring. They've done it in a clever way where learning about minerals and vitamins is interesting and it brings back a lot of knowledge I should have retained from school but have forgotten pretty much all of!I genuinely can say some of the information I've picked up in this book has helped me eat a bit healthier and encouraged my family and I to add more things into our diets. I've even found myself showing bits to my 3 year old and explaining about carrots helping you see in the dark, and exclaiming random facts to my partner about what foods are high in what.The structure is well thought through and it takes you through various concepts to do with food, how we break it down and turn it into energy, what it's made of and various isolated areas like different diets.I can wholeheartedly recommend this book and have already started going through others in the range as I just love how they portray the information. It completely appeals to my visual brain and helps me memorise the facts and data inside. Love it.

I got this book to better educate myself on what I was putting into my body and the effects of that. The book is able to take such an indepth subject and break it down to information that made sense.It goes into depth on all the major food groups, telling you what it is, what its role in your nutrition is. The way in which it explains it, really worked for me to make minor changes to my diet to get the results I wanted. Understanding was the first step to know what was going on, then making the changes was made easy with this books help!The book overall, is really well written. It has fast and slow sections, in-depth and surface level which give a really nice flow to the writing to the point that it becomes very easy to ready and allowing the information to go in. It isn't just a wall of information like other books. This book books diagrams and illustrations are easy to read and understand.Overall, whether you are trying to make changes to your heal or you are giving this to someone who has started learning about biology at school. All of the information is easy to read and understand! I can highly recommend! 5/5!

In this 160-page book, there are a wide range of topics ranging from eating choices, how food impacts the body and so much more.This was quite an interesting read as it helped me to better understand my body and how to look after it as best I can.I liked how each page was condensed into the key information rather than it being a massive block of text. The diagrams really break down the information and make it easy to read and understand - there isn't any complicated jargon used so it's ideal for children and adults alike.Even if you think you already have a good understanding of nutrition and the sort, this book will definitely teach you something new.Overall, an educational read and very informative.

Very basic and biased without fact based information. I mean if you say that large doses of vitamin D can be harmful you should also include the source of your claim.The book promotes the use of artificial food to save the environment. It seems that the new healthy is artificial, this is what is promoted in this book. When I reached the page where the book talks about the predictions of the UN about the overpopulation and how we have to increase food production and use insect protein and other laboratory synthesized food, this is when I closed the book and I returned it. It seems that for DK books the problem is the cows emitting gas
