Food & nutrition are important for human beings. The knowledge of food & nutrition plays a major role in the prevention and, management of many diseases. During my long career in the teaching profession. I observed that there is no one particular book that gives complete information about nutrition in the form of a textbook. The need was felt for a simple book for students and that has prompted me to write this book,” VYANJAN” A book of Nutrition this book deals with both theory and practical aspects of nutrition India like other developing countries Rays lot of emphasis on Nutrition these days. This book is divided into three parts.

The book aims at the Undergraduate and Post Graduate students of Home Science of Indian Universities, However, students of Nursing, Hotel management, Medicines, and paramedical courses, etc. will find this book extremely useful for them. This book can be useful for distant education also Reference and Journals are given to stimulate those seeking detailed information.
