What we eat has a huge impact on our physical and mental health,
and on our performance in our chosen sport, whether we're
elite-level athletes or enthusiastic amateurs. But, with so much
information out there, how do we choose a way of eating that is
right for us? More Fuel You is a clear and authoritative guide to
making the most of your nutrition. Leading sports dietitian Renee
McGregor looks at fuelling needs for sporting participation,
training and competition, and analyses some popular diet options,
including low-carbohydrate, vegan and intermittent fasting. But
this is not just another sports nutrition book. Renee recommends a
holistic view: by understanding the human body and being
self-aware, you can find the ideal nutritional approach for you
personally. Significantly, Renee also discusses areas of sports
nutrition in populations that are often overlooked, including
women's health and the menopause, healthy ageing, and the inclusion
of individuals who don't necessarily conform to the stereotype of
an athlete, such as people living with chronic health conditions.
Whatever your race, genetics, gender, age, socio-economic status,
body type or ability, it's important to be your own athlete, fuel
appropriately for your body and enjoy what you do. Whether you're a
world-class or real-world athlete, if you're serious about sport
and nutrition, you can't afford not to read this book.
Aging has long been considered a normal process. We think disease,
frailty, and gradual decline are inevitable parts of life. But they're
not.

longer but prevent and reverse the diseases of aging - including heart

Food and nutrition security - identified via availability, access,
utilization, and stability - and transitions to sustainable food
systems are major discourses in the agro-food arena, as many
countries today experience different forms of malnutrition
simultaneously, such as child undernutrition, anemia among women,
and adult obesity. Meanwhile, the triple burden of malnutrition
(undernutrition, overnutrition, and micronutrient deficiency) is
still widespread. Food Security and Nutrition explores integrated,
context-specific approaches to food security challenges,
emphasizing nutrition security as an integral component and
addressing the implications of food content to food and nutrition
security policies. Providing insight into these challenges through
agricultural, policy, nutritional, geographic and sustainability
lenses, Food Security and Nutrition is a valuable reference for
food scientists and nutrition researchers working in food supply,
food security, and nutrition security, and policy makers,
investors, and other decision-makers seeking to address food
insecurity around the world.

Low-carb diets work as Dr Atkins has proved to the world, but now
its time to go beyond the one-size-fits-all, sugarless approach to
weight loss. Here, Cardiologist Dr Rob Thompson has developed a
method that allows you to customise a low-starch diet programme to
your personal metabolic needs. All it takes are a few answers to
questions about your medical history and personal health habits and
you can create your own metabolic profile - which explains the
unique way in which your body handles carbohydrates and
cholesterol. Incorporating the latest research, Dr Thompson shows
that dietary science no longer lumps all carbs together. More and
more scientists are rating them according to their 'glycaemic
indexes', or the extent to which they impact metabolism. This books
serves as a guide for the next generation of dieters who will be
delighted to know that only certain carbohydrates are responsible
for adding on the pounds and clogging up the arteries - and sugar
is not one of them. But carbs aren't the only things changing.
Exercise is also developing into a more personal, more specific
field. For years doctors have been telling people to exercise
without telling them how, but recent studies have indicated that
the kind of exercise that stimulates metabolism and promotes weight
loss is different from that which builds strength and endurance. Dr
Thompson distinguishes between these types of exercising,
ultimately showing that stimulating metabolism is a lot easier than
commonly believed. Anyone can do it, and this book will show them
how.
