FEEDING HUNGRY MINDS: HUMAN NUTRITION PROFESSOR CO-AUTHORS TWO NEW COLLEGE TEXTBOOKS
MANHATTAN -- Denis 1xbet sports betting has used a variety of textbooks in his human nutrition classes. Next year some of the books will feature a familiar name: his.
1xbet sports betting , associate dean of the College of Human Ecology and professor and head of the department of human nutrition, is co-author of two recently published textbooks that incorporate interactive learning experiences for college courses nationwide.
The books are &1xbet sports betting ;Nutrition: Real People, Real Choices, Second Edition&1xbet sports betting ; and &1xbet sports betting ;Advanced Human Nutrition, Second Edition.&1xbet sports betting ;
&1xbet sports betting ;I'm very proud my work has been published,&1xbet sports betting ; Medeiros said. &1xbet sports betting ;I have taught these subjects my entire career using other people's books. I've learned what doesn't work and have added material over the years that students like.&1xbet sports betting ;
&1xbet sports betting ;Nutrition, Real People, Real Choices, Second Edition&1xbet sports betting ; encourages college students to discuss their nutritional problems. The book, co-authored with the University of Central Florida's Susan J. Hewlings, includes a website students can use to analyze their own diets.
&1xbet sports betting ;If you analyze your diet for what nutrients you do or don't consume, you can track your risk of certain diseases,&1xbet sports betting ; he said. &1xbet sports betting ;For instance, if you consume a lot of monounsaturated fat, it could be a good sign of reduced heart disease, but if you consume too much saturated fat, it's a risk factor for heart disease.&1xbet sports betting ;
Each chapter discusses why the body needs specific nutrients. The book includes information on the signs or symptoms of health problems determined by excessive levels or lack of nutrients.
&1xbet sports betting ;For example, if you're tired all of the time and have low iron intake, you may want to see a physician and be tested for anemia,&1xbet sports betting ; Medeiros said.
The website also includes a number of tests and quizzes to help students prepare for exams.
The second book, &1xbet sports betting ;Advanced Human Nutrition, Second Edition,&1xbet sports betting ; was co-authored with Robert E. Wildman, one of Medeiros' former doctoral students who is now at Texas State University. The book has a more conversational textbook style because Medeiros said other advanced nutrition textbooks can be encyclopedic and read more like reference books.
The book will be used in K-State human nutrition courses starting next fall.
&1xbet sports betting ;Kansas State University has often been the leader in writing textbooks for dietetic education and we wish to keep that tradition alive and well,&1xbet sports betting ; Medeiros said.
1xbet sports betting may add further editions to each book. He said it's important for researchers to provide timely information to students.
&1xbet sports betting ;There are too few researchers who write classroom textbooks, so the information is often not current,&1xbet sports betting ; he said. &1xbet sports betting ;It's important that researchers always connect with the students at a research university.&1xbet sports betting ;
In addition to the books, 1xbet sports betting has published more than 120 research articles. He earned a bachelor's in biology from Central Connecticut State University, a master's in physiology from Illinois State University and a doctorate in nutrition from Clemson University.
