Source text - English INTRODUCTION
Elizabeth D. Capaldi
Eating is arguably the most fundamental of human activies. Each of us must eat or we die, and we usualy have to eat a number of times each day. In some parts of the globe, obtaining food is the major daily activity. Althought obtaining food is not that much of a problem for the most of us in Western society, our lives still resolve largely around eating and the inevitable results that eating has on our bodies. Concerns over health and nutrition have increased our interest in diet choice, and body appereance is a major focus in our society. Because of the critical role of food in human life, scientists have long investigated both the foods we eat and the eating process itself. Psychologists are certainly no exception. As this books demonstrates, psychologists have contributed by showing how biology interacts with learning and cognitive factors. We do not all react to food in the same way, even at the physiological level, because of our diferent experiences with foods. Illness following eating foods in combination with other, liked foods or eating with people we like can produce longlasting likes. Understanding how experience changes reactions to food can help improve eating habits; this book outlines what psychology has come to understand about the development of eating behaviors.
Translation - Portuguese INTRODUÇÃO
Elizabeth D. Capaldi
A alimentação é indiscutivelmente a mais fundamental das atividades humanas. Cada um de nós deve comer ou morremos, e devemos nos alimentar um determinado número de vezes todos os dias. Em algumas partes do globo, a obtenção do alimento é a mais importante atividade do dia. Embora obter a comida não seja um problema para a maioria de nós na sociedade ocidental, nossas vidas ainda estão determinadas grandemente acerca da alimentação e os inevitáveis resultados que ela têm em nossos corpos. Preocupações acerca da saúde e nutrição têm aumentado o nosso interesse na escolha da dieta, e a aparência do corpo tem grande foco na nossa sociedade. Por causa da grande importância da alimentação para a vida humana, cientistas têm investigado tanto os alimentos que ingerimos quanto o processo da alimentação. Psicólogos também não são exceção. Como esse livro demonstra psicólogos tem contribuído demonstrando como a biologia interage com fatores cognitivos e de aprendizado. Nós não reagimos da mesma forma com a comida, inclusive a nível fisiológico, isso ocorre devido as nossas diferentes experiências alimentares. Doenças ocasionadas após a ingestão de determinado alimento podem levar a uma aversão de longa duração com o mesmo, enquanto que ingerir alimentos em combinação com outros que gostamos ou com pessoas queridas podem produzir preferências de longa duração. Entender como essas experiências modificam a relação com a comida pode ajudar a melhorar os hábitos alimentares; este livro descreve o que a psicologia compreende sobre o desenvolvimento do comportamento alimentar.

Years of experience: 7. Registered at ProZ.com: Jul 2018.
I have graduated in Physical Education and I'm in the last year in bachelor's nutrition. I plan to live six months in Portugal to specialize in the field of nutrition and I am interested in working with translation in the areas of health, fitness, education, nutrition, cooking, and travel.
I have been working as a personal trainer for 10 years and in the production and editing of scholarly works. I do not have direct experience in translation, but I would like very much to have the opportunity to start! It will help me financially in my exchange and maybe I would like to continue in this area in the future.
I am a dedicated person, punctual, and very excited to start working with you!
