This book was released on 2024-03-06 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers are known as a substantive worldwide challenge for health systems and are major contributors to mortality and morbidity. According to the World Health Organization, 71% of all deaths and 63.8 % of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) are attributed to chronic diseases. The composition of a diet influences health status and affects the occurrence and severity of chronic diseases. As different components of a diet correlate and interact with one another, addressing only individual dietary constituents does not usually help in analyzing the extent to which diets may prevent or contribute to the development or progress of chronic diseases. In recent years, the concept of dietary indices has received more attention by both researchers and clinicians and is used as a means to capture the overall effect of a diet on a specific disease or a group of related illnesses. These indices are nutritionally derived mathematical algorithms which are developed on the bases of useful or detrimental nutrients and/or food groups. Thus, the indices are frequently used to elucidate proper aspects of a specific diet such as quality; diversity; anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and/or anti-glycation potential; and acid load. Examples include the: dietary inflammatory index (DII), dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC), healthy eating index (HEI), dietary acid load, and so forth. There is accumulating evidence indicating a link between scores of dietary and nutritional indices and health outcomes.

Download or read book Personalized Food Intervention and Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder Management written by M. Mohamed Essa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on implications of traditional and processed foods for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) intervention and management. Numerous phytonutrients and pharmacologically active compounds in edible natural products and diet could influence and offer protection to neuronal dysfunction that occurs due to ASD. The neuroprotective effects of various fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds phytochemicals, and other natural bioactive ingredients against ASD and related conditions are discussed. Topics such as the possible neuroprotective mechanism of action of these foods and the therapeutic role of antioxidants in relation to ASD are addressed. This book also highlights the scope of using anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants to promote neurogenesis and improve other symptoms in ASD. It emphasizes personalized nutritional approaches with dietary management of neurodevelopmental disorders/ASD cases. Information in this book is relevant to researchers in the field of complementary and alternative medicine, nutraceuticals, neuroscience, agriculture, nutrition, and food science. This volume is beneficial to students of varying levels, and across multiple disciplines.
Download or read book Responsible Production and Consumption written by Pramod K. Mishra and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-11-25 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zero Hunger (SDG-2) and Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG-12) of the United Nations are very crucial aspects for any economy in the world. In terms of Agricultural Sustainability and Food Security, the world should see to it that agriculture is sustainable enough to ensure food security for all its people. While nobody should be deprived of food for whatever reasons and at the same time nobody should use the agricultural resources (both inputs and outputs) in a manner harmful to the society at large. The use of any resources in terms of production and consumption, and vice versa, should take into account the carbon-footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. While the producers have a major role in the optimum use of the resources, the consumers, for whatever items, should take into account the responsible consumption practices. Since production and consumption are like two sides of a coin, complementary to each other, any change in one of the aspects will have its repercussions on the other one. So, it is a collective responsibility of everyone to ensure that things are practiced the way they are supposed to.
Download or read book The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018 written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.
Download or read book Stepping up Everyone around the table for better nutrition and healthy diets written by LeBlanc, C., Kissick, C., Keats, S. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of three background papers produced to inform the series of three virtual roundtables entitled ‘Stepping up: Everyone Around the Table for Better Nutrition and Sustainable Healthy Diets: FAO/GAIN Roundtables with the Private Sector on Healthy Diets’ which took place in July-2020. These papers and roundtables are intended to highlight current understandings, gaps and misconceptions about engaging with businesses in the food system. Together with all stakeholders we hope to identify paths leading to healthy diets for everyone, everywhere. STEP 1 (this paper) unpacks the role of the private sector, especially of SMEs, in sustainably nourishing the world. It reinforces the growing consensus that food systems, and the SME activities within them, must be transformed by stakeholders from all sectors.
Download or read book The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022 written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2022-07-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year’s report should dispel any lingering doubts that the world is moving backwards in its efforts to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. We are now only eight years away from 2030, but the distance to reach many of the SDG 2 targets is growing wider each year. There are indeed efforts to make progress towards SDG 2, yet they are proving insufficient in the face of a more challenging and uncertain context. The intensification of the major drivers behind recent food insecurity and malnutrition trends (i.e. conflict, climate extremes and economic shocks) combined with the high cost of nutritious foods and growing inequalities will continue to challenge food security and nutrition. This will be the case until agrifood systems are transformed, become more resilient and are delivering lower cost nutritious foods and affordable healthy diets for all, sustainably and inclusively.

Download or read book Nutrition transition and the structure of global food demand written by Gouel, Christophe and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimating future demand for food is a critical aspect of global food security analyses. The process linking dietary changes to wealth is known as the nutrition transition and presents well-identified features that help to predict consumption changes in poor countries. This study proposes to represent the nutrition transition with a nonhomothetic, flexible-in-income, demand system, known as the Modified Implicitly Directly Additive Demand System (MAIDADS). The resulting model is transparent and estimated statistically based on cross-sectional information from FAOSTAT the statistical database of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. It captures the main features of the nutrition transition: rise in demand for calories associated with income growth; diversification of diets away from starchy staples; and a large increase in caloric demand for animal-based products, fats, and sweeteners. The estimated model is used to project food demand between 2010 and 2050 based on a set of plausible futures (trend projections and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways scenarios). The main results of these projections are as follows: (1) global food demand will increase by 46 percent, less than half the growth in the previous four decades; (2) this growth will be attributable mainly to lower-middle-income and low-income countries; (3) the structure of global food demand will change over the period, with a 95 percent increase in demand for animal-based calories and a much smaller 18 percent increase in demand for starchy staples; and (4) the analysis of a range of population and income projections reveals important uncertainties depending on the scenario, the projected increases in demand for animal-based and vegetal-based calories range from 78 to 109 percent and from 20 to 42 percent, respectively.
