Increased oxidative stress due to the production of excessive
amounts of free radicals along with the effects of chronic
inflammation play a major role in the initiation and progression of
a host of disease states, ranging from cancer to posttraumatic
stress disorder. In varying doses, micronutrients, including
antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals have shown to help
ameliorate these effects. However, clinical studies using isolated
micronutrients to combat these illnesses have proven that such
limited therapy has produced inconsistent results. Assembling a
plethora of rational and scientific evidence, Micronutrients in
Health and Disease makes the case that the use of not one but
multiple micronutrients working together synergistically in
combination with a low-fat, high-fiber diet can prove successful in
the prevention and management of these chronic conditions.
Following an overview of basic facts about micronutrients,
oxidative stress, inflammation, the immune system, and the results
of various clinical studies, the book explores the use of
micronutrients in prevention and improvement of standard therapy in
a number of disease states, including: * Coronary artery disease *
Diabetes * Cancer * Alzheimer's disease * Parkinson's disease *
Hearing disorders * Posttraumatic stress disorder * Traumatic brain
injury * HIV/AIDS * Adverse effects of radiation * Arthritis
Steeped in research and heavily referenced, this volume concludes
with a list of common myths and misconceptions about micronutrient
use and a chart with dietary reference intakes (DRIs) of all the
major products, making this a solid resource for those seeking to
promote healthy aging and prevent and manage disease.
