      nutritional management of children in healthy children, their needs and requirements through various phases of their growth, starting from infancy to the adolescent period. More and more children are actively participating in sports and related performances, which alter their nutritional demands considerably.

Other aspects like food allergies, which are commonly encountered among children, the role of important micronutrients like fat soluble vitamin A and minerals like iron and calcium in the diet, and how the nutritional status can impact the onset of infections or vice versa, all have been covered in this compilation.   The second-half of the book deals with various diseases ranging from the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, heart and Type I diabetes mellitus to some of the more acute problems like  cancer and HIV infections, and how appropriate nutritional management can help tide over the difficult phases of the disease, thereby, helping in rehabilitation to the normal state.
