Download or read book TRATADO GENERAL DE LA NUTRICI N Color written by eleonor Noss Whitney and published by Paidotribo. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sean cuales sean los alimentos que escojamos, éstos influyen en nuestra salud. Las elecciones individuales de alimentos no construyen ni destruyen la salubridad de una dieta, pero el equilibrio de los alimentos que elegimos durante largos períodos puede marcar la diferencia. El reto, por tanto, consiste en saber combinar los alimentos favoritos y el placer con una dieta bien equilibrada. Tratado general de la nutrición desarrolla los conocimientos más importantes para introducirse y profundizar en esta materia, tanto para estudiantes universitarios como para el lector no especializado. Los primeros capítulos presentan los nutrientes y su función en el cuerpo, y los últimos aplican esa información a la vida real, describiendo el papel de los alimentos en el equilibrio de la energía y el control del peso, en la actividad física, en el ciclo vital, en la prevención de las enfermedades, en la seguridad alimentaria y en el fenómeno del hambre en el mundo. A cada capítulo le sigue un punto destacado que ofrece a los lectores una detallada explicación de temas actuales, y a menudo polémicos, relacionados con el capítulo en cuestión. Asimismo, al final de cada capítulo, la sección “Portafolio nutricional” revisa el contenido y anima al lector a reflexionar sobre si sus elecciones personales cumplen los objetivos dietéticos presentados en el capítulo.

Download or read book Color of Violence written by INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editors and contributors to Color of Violence ask: What would it take to end violence against women of color? Presenting the fierce and vital writing of organizers, lawyers, scholars, poets, and policy makers, Color of Violence radically repositions the antiviolence movement by putting women of color at its center. The contributors shift the focus from domestic violence and sexual assault and map innovative strategies of movement building and resistance used by women of color around the world. The volume's thirty pieces—which include poems, short essays, position papers, letters, and personal reflections—cover violence against women of color in its myriad forms, manifestations, and settings, while identifying the links between gender, militarism, reproductive and economic violence, prisons and policing, colonialism, and war. At a time of heightened state surveillance and repression of people of color, Color of Violence is an essential intervention. Contributors.

Download or read book The Vitamin A Story written by R.D. Semba and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how vitamin A deficiency – before the vitamin was known to scientists – affected millions of people throughout history. It is a story of sailors and soldiers, penniless mothers, orphaned infants, and young children left susceptible to blindness and fatal infections. We also glimpse the fortunate ones who, with ample vitamin A-rich food, escaped this elusive stalker. Why were people going blind and dying? To unravel this puzzle, scientists around the world competed over the course of a century. Their persistent efforts led to the identification of vitamin A and its essential role in health. As a primary focus of today’s international public health efforts, vitamin A has saved hundreds of thousands of lives. But, we discover, they could save many more were it not for obstacles erected by political and ideological zealots who lack a historical perspective of the problem. Although exhaustively researched and documented, this book is written for intellectually curious lay readers as well as for specialists. Public health professionals, nutritionists, and historians of science and medicine have much to learn from this book about the cultural and scientific origins of their disciplines. Likewise, readers interested in military and cultural history will learn about the interaction of health, society, science, and politics. The author’s presentation of vitamin A deficiency is likely to become a classic case study of health disparities in the past as well as the present.

Download or read book The Emperor of All Maladies written by Siddhartha Mukherjee and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-09 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.
