More and more we have come to learn about the beneficial effects that eating well and diet have on health and longevity―and about the increasingly vital role that nutritionists and dietitians are playing in medical care. You Are What You Eat gives nutrition majors the background information and vocabulary they need to carry out their valuable work in English―a necessary skill in this age of globalization and growing cultural diversity. The text’s main focus is on speaking―on being able to ask and answer the right food- and health-related questions―but with all the essential language-acquisition skills thoroughly covered. You Are What You Eat encourages students to take their time and really learn―enabling them when the time comes, to approach each real-life situation with skill and confidence.
