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.

Environmental Policy and Public Health Principal Health Hazards and Mitigation Volume 1

Environmental Policy and Public Health Principal Health Hazards and Mitigation Volume 1

Written by environmental health experts with long teaching and professional careers in policy and public health the third edition of Environmental Policy and Public Health comprises two volumes addressing key physical hazards in the environment that impact public health. The first volume on Principal Health Hazards and Mitigation is complemented by the second volume Emerging Health Hazards and Mitigation. The health of the environment is inextricably linked to that of people. Thoroughly updated Volume 1 describes how the quality of air water and food is threatened by the presence of toxic substances and explains why climate change is a global health priority already impacting human health and the environment. The mitigations discussed in this volume are twofold: policies that are intended for control of specific hazards and suggested hazard interventions. The role of policy in addressing each of these key environmental health areas is extensively discussed in this volume as well. Each chapter explains step by step how new environmental health issues are translated into public health policies and concludes with practice questions to facilitate interactive learning for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in public health and environmental sciences. The step-by step approach as well as the case studies and practice questions allow for a diverse portfolio of in-person and hybrid pedagogical strategies and tools at the fingertips of faculty who not only teach policy courses but whose course topics such as climate and health have policy relevance. | Environmental Policy and Public Health Principal Health Hazards and Mitigation Volume 1

Food-Drug Synergy and Safety

Food-Drug Synergy and Safety

Scientists health professionals and consumers are increasingly interested in the relationships between food components and food-drug combinations as they strive to find more effective ways to prevent or treat chronic disease. As one of the first unified and in-depth sources in this emerging topic Food-Drug Synergy and Safety explores the vast potential benefits of food and food-drug synergy. The book addresses the interaction of two or more components within a single food between several foods or between foods and drugs consumed together in which the potential health benefit is greater than the effect of the single component food or drug. Each chapter follows a consistent framework and addresses the health benefits mechanisms of action and safety aspects pertaining to the food and food-drug synergies. Sections discuss food and food-drug synergies in the context of specific disease groups such as cardiovascular disease cancer osteoporosis inflammatory diseases hypertension and obesity for easy reference in a clinical setting. A separate section focuses entirely on performance enhancers including caffeine creatine and ephedrine/ephedra and their potential to influence human health in addition to ergogenic applications. The final section provides scientists with a framework for designing experiments that elucidate the heath benefits and safety aspects of food and food-drug synergies. Food-Drug Synergy and Safety lays the essential foundation in this new direction of research as it gains momentum in the fields of food nutrition medicine and pharmaceutical sciences.
