Ageing Well Nutrition Health and Social Interventions

Ageing Well Nutrition Health and Social Interventions

Many current public health actions and policies aimed at older people revolve around the often prevailing view that failing health is a consequence of ageing. It is now clear that it is possible to postpone or even prevent much of the age-related decline in health that was once thought inevitable. Future policies must recognise this changing paradigm and using a multi-disciplinary approach integrate fully the changing needs of older people into all areas of public policy including health nutrition social support housing and economic security. Derived from the 47th Annual Symposium of the Society for the Study of Human Biology in November 2005 Ageing Well: Nutrition Health and Social Interventions highlights important health and social factors affecting quality of life in older age and reviews possible interventions aimed at the prevention or amelioration of problems that reduce the potential for ageing well. Covering a wide range of topics contributors address the nutritional vulnerability and specific nutritional needs of older adults and confirm the necessity of appropriate diet and exercise in order to maintain both physical and cognitive health. Reminiscence social interaction and support are highlighted as crucial for the preservation of identity health and emotional well-being. Other chapters are concerned with socio-economic differences in the extent of age-related changes in health resulting particularly from poor quality housing and lack of family support networks. The book includes an examination of the economic consequences for health care systems and pension schemes of ageing populations provides insight into the methodology of evaluating the cost-effectiveness of interventions and outlines how the minimum cost of healthy living for the 65 plus population can be estimated.

Pandemics and Innovative Food Systems

Pandemics and Innovative Food Systems

The debate on health nutrition and food security could not have arisen at a more opportune time. The recent pandemic has given rise to increased food and nutrition insecurity for individuals families and communities. The crisis threatened the food security and nutrition of millions of people many of whom were already suffering. We face possible disruptions to the functioning of food systems with severe consequences for health and nutrition. Pandemics create a greater burden for poorer countries and countries since they are already pressure of inadequate food supplies. With concerted action we can not only avoid some of the worst impacts but do so in a way that supports a transition to more sustainable food systems that are in better balance with nature and that support healthy diets – and thus better health prospects for all. This book aims to highlight the impact of pandemics in food systems and nutrition security. It draws on the experience from the past and present pandemics to better prepare the world for future crises. | Pandemics and Innovative Food Systems

Livestock Ration Formulation for Dairy Cattle and Buffalo

Livestock Ration Formulation for Dairy Cattle and Buffalo

Livestock Ration Formulation for Dairy Cattle and Buffalo provides an interdisciplinary integrative perspective and optimization on dairy cattle feed formulation problem solving. It helps dairy farmers by introducing them the right frequency and right amount of balanced diet to be fed to cattle’s and buffaloes at different body condition so that their feeding cost should be decreased and there should be increase in income for dairy farmers as they don’t have enough knowledge of feeding practice. It helps animal nutritionist to work for dairy farmers which have very limited feed resources to fulfil nutrients requirement in terms of crude protein (CP) total digestible nutrient (TDN) calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) by developing a software programme to plan a balanced low budget diet. It includes the Linear and Goal programming model for non-pregnant dairy buffalo is been solved using Hybrid Real Coded Genetic Algorithm and the results are compared with Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RGA) considering different versions like RGA without crossover RGA without Mutation RGA with crossover and mutation. These models can also be applied with other nutritional models like CNCPS INRA. This book is a step forward in that direction to provide least cost diet formulation based on nutrient requirement of the cattle and buffalo which is been calculated according to Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR 2013) and NRC (2001) on dry matter basis provides a clear and precise platform for other researcher in Animal Nutrition field which also give initial platform to build a software and android application to formulate least cost ration Based on data and algorithm used in this book which helps Dairy farmers directly to feed balanced diet at cheap rate. Features: It is a good reference to local dairy farmers by introducing them to the right frequency and right amount of balanced diet to be fed to cattle and buffaloes at different production cycles. It will provide basic platform and some solutions to built-up software about cattle nutrition development and least cost formulation for end-user. It has several techniques for optimizing animal diet formulation but a good balance between coding/programming and animal nutrition is incorporated towards application of soft computing technique to improve the quality of the solution due to rigidity of the constraints.

Bariatric Surgery Patients A Nutritional Guide

Bariatric Surgery Patients A Nutritional Guide

Approximately 65% of our population is overweight and 12% are morbidly obese. This is despite more than 25 years of attempted medical management. Clearly all current efforts have failed to control this enormous problem. Could it be that we have failed to recognize the cause of the disease and therefore have misdirected our efforts? � Alfredo Fernandez MD FASMBS Surgeon Tampa Florida Reducing obesity through bariatric surgery provides a sustainable weight loss regimen because it restricts the size of the stomach and limits food intake. However the surgery limits the amount of nutrients absorbed by the stomach and small intestine. This book provides a comprehensive practical guide on pre- and post-nutrition considerations in bariatric patients. It describes surgeries including gastric bypass lap band and sleeve; nutrition protocols for surgery patients; pregnancy considerations- pre- and post-surgery; food consumption post-surgery; advancing healthy food intake after surgery; minimizing negative side effects; and recommendations to maintain healthy diet. This nutritional guide provides health care practitioners descriptions and answers to the many questions bariatric surgery patients need to know and ask in support group meetings and individual counseling sessions. The first chapter focuses on Selling Obesity and Food as a Cheap and Legal Drug outlining how food advertising portion size increases and food frauds have contributed to the obesity crisis. New research into gut hormones microbiome influence on obesity firmicutes and histamine are included as well as pregnancy after bariatric surgery and lifestyle changes�eating sleep hydration stress management�needed for success after surgery.
