We as humans have only one body to take care of. The body’s performance depends on the intelligent care
we give to it. The human body is like a finely-tuned engine. To function properly, it requires the right fuel
in the form of right food and right fluids. Nurses require a great deal of training and knowledge regarding
nutrition due to the fact that there is a connection between nutrition, diet and health. Knowledge
regarding nutrition is even helpful for the well being of the nurses too.
Nursing is a stressful career with long working hours. The most obvious reason why nurses should be
well versed in nutrition is that it can help them to help their patients to learn more about nutrition and
nutrition-related problems. This can be made possible only, when they are themselves well-equipped
with the basic concepts of nutrition. To fulfill this motive, this book has been updated and designed to
meet the requirements of BSc nursing and post basic BSc nursing students in the best manner possible.
This textbook has been written keeping in view the curriculum framed by the Indian Nursing Council.
This textbook has been written in simple language and styled in well organized and systematized
way. It is hoped that the content of this book will be useful for all the nursing students and will meet
the requirements of students effectively in accordance with the advancements in the field of nursing.
This book not only provides information regarding the basics of nutrients, but also provides information
regarding cooking rules and preservation of nutrients, balanced diet and the role of nurse in nutritional
programs, food additives, food standards, assessment of nutritional status, etc. This book also covers
recent guidelines regarding RDAs, updated Health Policies and Acts. Not even a single topic is missed in
this book according to INC syllabus. After reading each chapter, student can assess herself or himself by
