Nutrition Across Life Stages is dedicated to my grandmother, Cherie Fine, who passed away at the age of 95 as we were nearing the completion of the first edition of this book. She had a special gift of connecting with people of all ages. Everyone who was fortunate to be a part of her life experienced her warmth, generosity, and wisdom. May her memory be a blessing.

Melissa Bernstein

Nutrition Across Life Stages is dedicated to my three children. May they always see the value in making good choices for their health and well-being, and that they set good examples for others.

In Nutrition Across Life Stages, Melissa Bernstein and Kimberly McMahon take us across the life cycle with scientific clarity, covering the intersection between nutrition and health from preconception to adolescence to older adulthood. Over the course of this whirlwind trip, the authors raise insightful questions vital to the study of Life Cycle Nutrition. What are the benefits and disadvantages of iron supplements at different stages of life? Can being overweight affect a childs health? Why is it important for a woman to take folic acid before she becomes pregnant? The authors discuss topics beyond how diet, nutrients, and foods impact health at every stage of life. For example, which substances found in the home or workplace can make it more difficult for a woman to become pregnant, or what social factors are needed to support healthy aging for an older adult? Conditions throughout the life cycle are reviewed in detail with practical case studies and examples.

Bernstein and McMahon are particularly good at citing the latest studies to show the consequences of dietary decisions. Vitamin D deficiency, for example, is a major, unrecognized epidemic in adult women of childbearing age and can result in significant health problems in children born to these women. What about adolescents who are strict vegetarians? Can they meet all their nutritional needs?

A very strong and compelling part of the book is the material related to the older adult and geriatric population. The authors expertly discuss the role of nutrition in the management of acute or chronic conditions specific to mature adults, such as drugnutrient interactions, depression, anorexia of aging, arthritis, osteoporosis, overweight and obesity, and Alzheimers disease. Given the increased role Registered Dietitian Nutritionists now play in health care for older adults, the latter part of the book becomes a veritable page turner.
