In addition, a growing number of people are choosing the vegan or total vegetarian diet because of the potential to greatly reduce the risk of chronic diseases and mortality rates. Although this interest in plant-based eating is popular, there exist concerns on the safety of some vegetarian diets, especially a vegan diet. This book describes issues of the vegetarian diet and outlines ways to prevent nutrient deficiencies. Vegetarian Nutrition and Wellness focuses on synthesizing research around vegetarian diets and human health. A major section of the book deals with how a vegetarian diet protects population groups from the major chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and various cancers. Based upon ecological and clinical studies, chapter authors explain the health-promoting properties of plant-based diets, and compare/contrast health outcomes obtained from consuming omnivorous diets with a vegetarian or vegan diet. Fruits and vegetables figure prominently in vegetarian diets and provide a substantial effect in disease reduction and health-promoting properties of a plant-based diet. Vegetarian Nutrition and Wellness is written for the academic community, registered dietitians, health professionals, and graduate students in nutrition and public health. Each chapter provides a comprehensive review of the scientific literature and includes a concise summary at the beginning of each chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revised and expanded edition of the bestseller that changed millions of lives The science is clear. The results are unmistakable. You can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes just by changing your diet. More than 30 years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the China Study, the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease. What they found when combined with findings in Colin's laboratory, opened their eyes to the dangers of a diet high in animal protein and the unparalleled health benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet. In 2005, Colin and his son Tom, now a physician, shared those findings with the world in The China Study, hailed as one of the most important books about diet and health ever written. Featuring brand new content, this heavily expanded edition of Colin and Tom's groundbreaking book includes the latest undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus updated information about the changing medical system and how patients stand to benefit from a surging interest in plant-based nutrition. The China Study—Revised and Expanded Edition presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of health myths and misinformation. The basic message is clear. The key to a long, healthy life lies in three things: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Download or read book To Eat or Not To Eat Meat written by Charlotte De Backer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, people are shifting to vegetarian, plant-based, or vegan diets. This shift is having profound effects on our social interactions, and this is the focus of this book. Becoming a vegetarian or vegan involves more than just changing your diet. It can change how you socially and emotionally connect with family, friends and the broader community, shape your outlook on life, and open up new worlds and contacts. It can also lead to uncomfortable situations, if dietary choices involving a rejection of meat are read by others as an ethical and moral judgement on mainstream dietary choices. This book adopts an innovative narrative approach, and draws on stories across the globe to consider how the food choices we make in our everyday lives can lead to complex, and sometimes life changing, social consequences. The narratives cover a range of topics, including the moral reasons behind some individuals’ decision to change their diets, the religious or ecological considerations, and the potential health and social ramifications. To date, the social consequences of selecting a plant-based diet have been sorely overlooked in favour of texts that have documented the benefits of such diets, and usually focus on health, animal welfare and/or environmental issues, with the aim of persuading readers to give up meat, and change to a ‘healthy’ and/or ‘sustainable’ diet. Cultural studies texts considering vegetarianism or veganism have typically targeted academic audiences with analyses of how identity is constructed through food and dietary choices. In contrast, this book offers a unique window onto how our social lives are implicated in our food choices, and is critical in understanding the importance of diet as embedded in complex social processes.

Download or read book The Vegetarian Imperative written by Anand M. Saxena and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have learned not to take food seriously: we eat as much as we want of what we want when we want it, and we seldom think about the health and environmental consequences of our choices. But the fact is that every choice we make has an impact on our health and on the environment. In The Vegetarian Imperative, Anand M. Saxena, a scientist and a vegetarian for most of his life, explains why we need to make better choices: for better health, to eliminate world hunger, and, ultimately, to save the planet. Our insatiable appetite for animal-based foods contributes directly to high rates of chronic diseases—resulting in both illness and death. It also leads to a devastating overuse of natural resources that dangerously depletes the food available for human consumption. The burgeoning population and increasing preference for meat in all parts of the world are stretching planetary resources beyond their limits, and the huge livestock industry is degrading the agricultural land and polluting air and water. Continuing at this pace will bring us to the crisis point in just a few decades—a reality that threatens not only our current lifestyle but our very survival. This book shows us a way out of this dangerous and vicious cycle, recommending a much-needed shift to a diet of properly chosen plant-based foods. Any one of these arguments alone—personal health, worldwide hunger, and environmental degradation—provides reason enough to stop consuming so much animal-based food; taken together, they make an unassailable case for vegetarianism. The Vegetarian Imperative will make you rethink what you eat—and help you save the planet.

The anti-inflammatory Vitality Diet shows you the foods to eat to heal inflammation, gain health and lose the weight stemming from an inflamed body. The anti-inflammatory diet is not a fad; it has been used by thousands of people for the last 30 years, helping them obtain their ideal bodies and increase their overall sense of well being. You probably know people who embody the concept of vitality. They're the people in your life with almost endless energy, the friends and family members that have passion and empathy. Being in their presence calms and energizes you-they just feel good to be around. Their enthusiasm for life rubs off on you. They just have something different, something special. "Almost immediately on starting the diet, my concentration and memory - specifically my recall of events, facts and words - became sharper than at any time in my life. Rather suddenly, my struggle to integrate mountains of studies into a coherent framework for our book became almost easy. At the same time, my occasional symptoms of American malaise disappeared, including episodic insomnia, low grade anxiety and occasional bouts of mild depression. Within weeks my chronic asthma went into complete remission. My occasional migraine headaches (including "auras" in which I would transiently lose vision) disappeared, and oddly, my tendency to become car sick vanished. Another surprise was that my typically dreadful experience of the common cold came to an end. In fact I stopped contracting colds at all, even when family members brought viral illnesses back to our home." Dr. Jill Stein wrote these words and the Forward to this book.

The Vitality Diet explains the science behind the anti-inflammatory diet and the foods that form the mainstay of the diet as well as how to restore alkalinity to the body. The author, Sarah Manski, offers an encouraging real-life perspective on life-changing methods to obtain optimum health, including her personal journey with weight loss. The Vitality Diet is designed to cool the body's immune inflammatory response through the replacement of meat, dairy, bread and potatoes, processed foods, nightshade vegetables, and refined sugars with nutrient-dense real foods, including: nutritious salads, bean stews, vegetable curries, organic humane eggs, fruit sweetened treats, and more. In addition to informing the reader about the basics of inflammation and why it causes people to gain weight and suffer from illness, the author moves beyond the basics and gives the reader additional information needed to achieve their health goals. This includes an explanation of candida yeast infections, an evolutionary explanation for sugar and fat cravings, the importance of balanced alkalinity, what to look for in health supplements, why calorie counting doesn't work, policies for a healthful planet, chiropractic care, and more. The Vitality Diet is a must-have guide to those who are interested in an anti-inflammatory diet, healing their body with food, or simply looking to improve their digestive health and - by extension - achieve healthy aging and mental well-being.
