Vitamin B12 Advances and Insights

Vitamin B12 Advances and Insights

Cobalamin (vitamin B12) was discovered in the first half of the 20th century. Vast amount of information on the role of the vitamins in human health and disease became available. Cobalamin science was however based on theoretical concepts that have been accepted without further proof of facts and hypotheses. Recently the breath-taking pace of development in research technologies has changed our understanding for the role of nutrients and the complex interaction between diet environment and diseases. Conditions like aging diet and drugs increase the risk of developing cobalamin deficiency probably because of diminished ability to liberate absorb or distribute the food-derived vitamin. From a basic science point of view understanding of the transport and function of the vitamin may pave the road for using this system for drug delivery. This book represents up-to-date literature on the discoveries and developments in the field of cobalamin. It includes multifaceted aspects of the vitamin in health and disease conditions. The book has been written by leading scientists who have significant contributions in this field and represents therefore a timely unique encyclopaedia on cobalamin. | Vitamin B12 Advances and Insights

Lactic Acid Bacteria A Functional Approach

Lactic Acid Bacteria A Functional Approach

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of bacteria that comprise low GC content Gram-positive cocci or rods that produces lactic acid as the major end product of the fermentation process. Bifidobacterium genera may also be considered as a part of the LAB group for possessing some similar phenotypical characteristics despite the higher GC content. The key feature of LAB metabolism is efficient carbohydrate fermentation. This contributes to the production of several microbial metabolites that result in the improvement of flavor and texture of fermented foods in addition to its positive impact on the human health when LAB is administered as a probiotic. The book deals with advances made in the functionalities of LAB such as their effect on vitamin D receptor expression impact on neurodegenerative pathologies production of B-vitamins for food bio-enrichment production of bacteriocins to improve gut microbiota dysbiosis production of metabolites from polyphenols and their effects on human health effect on reducing the immunoreaction of food allergens as biological system using time-temperature to improve food safety and the use of probiotics in animal feed.

Geriatric Nutrition

Geriatric Nutrition

In a vicious cycle poor nutritional health leads to acute and chronic disease and disease states are catastrophic to nutritional health. The magnitude of nutritional depletion from any cause depends to a large extent on the nutritional reserves an individual has accumulated over time. In our increasingly older population nutritional reserves are marginal and the magnitude of the effect on nutritional health is amplified. Strategies to improve nutritional health in older individuals require a unique approach and sensitivity to the individual’s needs. Drawing from a group of outstanding experts in the field Geriatric Nutrition is a state-of-the-art review of current nutritional thinking. Beginning with an overview of nutrition in older persons the book addresses nutrition epidemiology obesity immunity as well as molecular theories of aging. A detailed scientific review of nutritional requirements follows with chapters on energy balance water metabolism vitamin disorders and trace elements. Techniques for the clinical assessment of nutrition in older adults include comparisons between US and European Union strategies and standards. The book includes a revealing section on the management of undernutrition in nursing homes and assisted living environments.

The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals

The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals

Within the United Kingdom (UK) most mainstream healthcare practitioners receive little or no nutrition education during their years of training. As a consequence the understanding of nutrition amongst primary care practitioners such as general practitioners pharmacists midwives and practice nurses is limited and is largely focused on energy consumption and obesity. There is little knowledge of the wealth of micronutrients that underpin health nor of the ticking timebomb of insufficient intakes of those micronutrients amongst a significant proportion of the population in the UK. The Building Blocks of Life: A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals is a step towards redressing that balance. It sets out an informative and engaging narrative on how and why nutrition is the basis for good health. It discusses UK-specific issues with regards to diet and intakes of vitamins minerals essential fatty acids and other micronutrients. It also raises concerns about the potential negative health implications of the generally poor UK diet and suggests ways that healthcare practitioners can support patients in improving their long-term health outlook. Nutrition policy in the UK needs to be dragged into the 21st century and this book sets out evidence-based arguments which challenge current public health myths such as the idea that 10 micrograms of vitamin D is all anyone needs or the messaging around the consumption of saturated fat vs highly processed seed oils or that everyone can get all the nutrients they need from a varied and balanced diet. Although The Building Blocks of Life: A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals focuses on concerns around poor diet and the consequent micronutrient inadequacies in the UK the nutritional detail is relevant no matter where you are in the world. Everyone eats all the time. It is time that mainstream medicine looked towards food as both a cause and a solution to many of the chronic degenerative conditions that plague modern life. | The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals
