Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function

Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function

Our brain is recognized by all specialists as the most complex entity created in nature. Regarding the extraordinary capacities of its functioning still incompletely known the control of the brain by our dietary lipids may seem very improbable to many people. Yet research has shown that an imbalance in the intake of essential fatty acids is related to conditions as prevalent as depression bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Research on psychological disorders including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder autism aggressiveness and suicidal behavior are discussed in this text. Several neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis are also explored. Several observations prove that not only are omega-3 fatty acids actively involved in maintaining the noble functions of our brain but other lipids including cholesterol liposoluble vitamins (A D and E) and some carotenoids play roles as well and are presented in this book. Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function focuses on this important research for human health. This book brings readers doctors dietitians and nutritionists arguments that could improve brain development in young people prevent many nervous diseases and slow down the age-related decline of higher brain functions. This book provides helpful information to improve health in the young as well in the old using practical and personalized recommendations for preventing and treating nervous pathologies. Features:• Focuses on the importance of dietary lipids on the proper brain functioning. • Provides relevant references demonstrating the efficiency of dietary lipids to maintain a healthy brain. • Introduces lipid sources and describes their roles by lipid groups in behavior issues and various chronic nervous diseases.

Organic Acids and Food Preservation

Organic Acids and Food Preservation

Although organic acids have been used to counteract pathogens in food for many years there is a glaring need to assess and improve their continued effectiveness and sustainability. There is also a growing demand for foods that are produced using milder treatments (e. g. less heat salt sugar and chemicals) and newer technologies to prevent the growth of dangerous bacteria. Organic Acids and Food Preservation concentrates on safe and effective techniques for applying organic acids to prevention of bacterial growth. Despite the wide range of potentially useful antimicrobials relatively few are suitable in practice—and this invaluable hands-on guide explains why. With its wealth of information and rare focus solely on the subject it provides practical tools that can be used in the food industry various academic disciplines research education and food technology fields to better understand the problem and develop optimal solutions. Why are preservative strategies ineffective?Why are microorganisms becoming acid tolerant and resistant in other ways?

Food Insecurity and Public Health

Food Insecurity and Public Health

Affecting more than 800 million people food insecurity is a global problem that runs deeper than hunger and undernutrition. In addition to the obvious impact on physical well-being food insecurity can result in risky coping strategies increased expenditures on medical costs or transportation and mental health issues. A review of the concepts and impacts of food insecurity through the lens of public health Food Insecurity and Public Health details the complex issue of food insecurity and explores its reach beyond economics and agronomics. The book guides you through the fundamentals beginning with theory and the challenges in measuring it and moving on to the impact of food insecurity on health. The book details the implications of food insecurity on public health practice including epidemiology and outcomes of diseases such as HIV TB and non-communicable diseases and the specific impact on women’s health. It closes with case studies from the Navajo Nation Kenya and Southern Africa offering the opportunity to learn from real-life successes and challenges. Each chapter also considers programs or interventions that have been used to attempt to address the issue including a discussion of the US federal food stamps program. In truth however there continues to be a dearth of data on the ways in which programs can effectively address the problem of food insecurity at the household community or district level in either the short or long term—beyond of course the elimination of poverty which is no doubt a root cause of the problem. The book gives you context for considering the links between food insecurity and health and a framework for seeking integrated solutions to both problems.
