Aprašymas

Food and Diet in Health and Disease: Decoding the Impact of Food Constituents on Well Being examines the intricate relationship between food constituents and health outcomes, addressing a significant gap in the translation of scientific knowledge into practical dietary guidance. Organized into seven comprehensive sections, the book offers an analysis of macro and micronutrients, non-nutrient compounds, and functional constituents, with a particular focus on their disease-preventative properties. The text further explores the multifaceted roles of complex carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and phytonutrients in promoting health, while also providing an in-depth analysis of traditional dietary frameworks, such as the Mediterranean and Ayurvedic diets, as mechanisms for disease mitigation. Targeted for food scientists and nutritionists, "Food and Diet in Health and Disease" serves as a resource that synthesizes the latest evidence-based research into actionable dietary strategies. Each chapter addresses prevalent health challenges, including the management of diabetes, obesity, the gut microbiome and mental health, while also considering the implications of food safety and public health policy.
