Our brain is recognized by all specialists as the most complex
entity created in nature. Regarding the extraordinary capacities of
its functioning, still incompletely known, the control of the brain
by our dietary lipids may seem very improbable to many people. Yet,
research has shown that an imbalance in the intake of essential
fatty acids is related to conditions as prevalent as depression,
bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Research on psychological
disorders including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
autism, aggressiveness and suicidal behavior are discussed in this
text. Several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis are also explored. Several
observations prove that not only are omega-3 fatty acids actively
involved in maintaining the noble functions of our brain, but other
lipids, including cholesterol, liposoluble vitamins (A, D and E)
and some carotenoids play roles as well and are presented in this
book. Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function focuses on this
important research for human health. This book brings readers,
doctors, dietitians and nutritionists arguments that could improve
brain development in young people, prevent many nervous diseases
and slow down the age-related decline of higher brain functions.
This book provides helpful information to improve health in the
young as well in the old, using practical and personalized
recommendations for preventing and treating nervous pathologies.
Features: * Focuses on the importance of dietary lipids on the
proper brain functioning. * Provides relevant references
demonstrating the efficiency of dietary lipids to maintain a
healthy brain. * Introduces lipid sources and describes their roles
by lipid groups in behavior issues and various chronic nervous
diseases.
