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. It offers prescriptions for enteral and parenteral nutrition as well as protein energy undernutrition. A significant portion of the book covers nutrition recommendations in specific disease states including psychological issues such as dementia and depression cancer diabetes anemia and fracture risk.

Primary Care Nutrition Writing the Nutrition Prescription

Primary Care Nutrition Writing the Nutrition Prescription

This book contains the necessary knowledge and tools to incorporate nutrition into primary care practice. As a practical matter this effort is led by a dedicated primary care physician with the help of motivated registered dietitians nurses psychologists physical therapists and office staff whether within a known practice or by referral to the community. It is essential that the nutrition prescription provided by the physician be as efficient as possible. While many team members have superior knowledge in the areas of nutrition exercise and psychology the health practitioner remains the focus of patient confidence in a therapy plan. Therefore the endorsement of the plan rather than the implementation of the plan is the most important task of the physician. This book proposes a significant change in attitude of primary health care providers in terms of the power of nutrition in prevention and treatment of common disease. It features detailed and referenced information on the role of nutrition in the most common conditions encountered in primary care practice. In the past treatment focused primarily on drugs and surgery for the treatment of disease with nutrition as an afterthought. Advanced technologies and drugs are effective for the treatment of acute disease but many of the most common diseases such as heart disease diabetes and cancer are not preventable with drugs and surgery. While there is mention of prevention of heart disease this largely relates to the use of statins with some modest discussion of a healthy diet. Similarly prevention of type 2 diabetes is the early introduction of metformin or intensive insulin therapy. | Primary Care Nutrition Writing the Nutrition Prescription

Principles of Animal Nutrition

Principles of Animal Nutrition

Animals are biological transformers of dietary matter and energy to produce high-quality foods and wools for human consumption and use. Mammals birds fish and shrimp require nutrients to survive grow develop and reproduce. As an interesting dynamic and challenging discipline in biological sciences animal nutrition spans an immense range from chemistry biochemistry anatomy and physiology to reproduction immunology pathology and cell biology. Thus nutrition is a foundational subject in livestock poultry and fish production as well as the rearing and health of companion animals. This book entitled Principles of Animal Nutrition consists of 13 chapters. Recent advances in biochemistry physiology and anatomy provide the foundation to understand how nutrients are utilized by ruminants and non-ruminants. The text begins with an overview of the physiological and biochemical bases of animal nutrition followed by a detailed description of chemical properties of carbohydrates lipids protein and amino acids. It advances to the coverage of the digestion absorption transport and metabolism of macronutrients energy vitamins and minerals in animals. To integrate the basic knowledge of nutrition with practical animal feeding the book continues with discussion on nutritional requirements of animals for maintenance and production as well as the regulation of food intake by animals. Finally the book closes with feed additives including those used to enhance animal growth and survival improve feed efficiency for protein production and replace feed antibiotics. While the classical and modern concepts of animal nutrition are emphasized throughout the book every effort has been made to include the most recent progress in this ever-expanding field so that readers in various biological disciplines can integrate biochemistry and physiology with nutrition health and disease in mammals birds and other animal species (e. g. fish and shrimp). All chapters clearly provide the essential literature related to the principles of animal nutrition which should be useful for academic researchers practitioners beginners and government policy makers. This book is an excellent reference for professionals and a comprehensive textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in animal science biochemistry biomedicine biology food science nutrition veterinary medicine and related fields.
