The impact of nutrition on human health has become the forefront of discussion with everyone from healthcare providers and research scientists to nutritionists and dietitians.

From adolescence through menopause, “Nutrition and Women’s Health: Functional Foods, Nutraceuticals and Integrative Strategies,” offers insights on how to manage health through nutrition. Chapters include nutritional modules for sources of nutrients and bioactive compounds for teenage nutrition, the interaction of sex hormones, menopause, the management of polycystic ovary syndrome, fertility, bone, skin and heart health and more.
