How this book can help you

How this book can help you

This practical guide is divided into two parts. This first part is an overview of nutrition basics and suggestions for designing a healthier diet. While you are free to read only bits and pieces, this section is meant to be consumed like a meal, with appetizers first and dessert last. The second part is more like snacks—browse through and take only what you need. In this section you will find tips on vitamin and mineral supplementation and how to deal with more specific issues, such as symptoms and side effects. There is also lots of information on nutrition and HIV on the Web. Check out Appendix D for a list of reliable sites.

One of the biggest barriers to good nutrition faced by people living with HIV, in Canada and around the world, is not being able to get the food they need in order to have healthy, active lives. This guide will attempt to address this issue by including strategies for more affordable grocery shopping.

This practical guide is part of a series and is meant to be used in conjunction with the other guides.
