Product Description
Nutrition: A practical approach explains nutrition in an understandable, interesting and straight forward way. It is suitable for use on a variety of nutrition courses including those offered by VTCT, ION, ITEC and the Home Study Nutrition Diploma Course written by the author and accredited by Vocational Awards International. It is also ideal for those studying a nutrition module on therapy-based courses such as the VTCT Holistic Diploma or NVQ 3 in Beauty Therapy.
