This book presents a cutting-edge, in-depth investigation into
new methods of health promotion. It is one of the first books to
focus on the role of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in
unhealthy diets. The book also contains reviews of the economic
benefits of novel health promotion and disease prevention methods.
Leading experts present recent examples and clinical trials.
The Nutrition and Health series of books have had great success
because each volume has the consistent overriding mission of
providing health professionals with texts that are essential
because each includes (1) a synthesis of the state of the science,
(2) timely, in-depth reviews by the leading researchers in their
respective ?elds, (3) extensive, up-to-date fully annotated ref-
ence lists, (4) a detailed index, (5) relevant tables and ?gures,
(6) identi?cation of paradigm shifts and the consequences, (7)
virtually no overlap of information between chapters, but targeted,
inter-chapter referrals, (8) suggestions of areas for future
research, and (9) balanced, data-driven answers to patient as well
as health professionals questions which are based upon the totality
of evidence rather than the ?ndings of any single study. The series
volumes are not the outcome of a symposium. Rather, each editor has
the potential to examine a chosen area with a broad perspective,
both in subject matter and in the choice of chapter authors. The
editor(s), whose training(s) is (are) both research and practice
oriented, has(ve) the opportunity to develop a primary objective
for their book, de?ne the scope and focus, and then invite the
leading authorities to be part of their initiative. The authors are
encouraged to provide an overview of the ?eld, discuss their own
research, and relate the research ?ndings to potential human health
consequences.
Over the last several years developing human research suggests that
a component of omega-3 fatty acids, long chain ones, contribute
particularly to health benefits. Omega-6/3 Fatty Acids: Functions,
Sustainability Strategies and Perspectives focuses on developing
information on this newly recognized key component. This volume
uniquely, and for the first time, focuses on sustainability of
natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids variants including long
chain ones, and on ways to increase their use and availability to
reduce major diseases. The authors review cardiovascular disease,
neurological changes and mental health and other diseases like
diabetes where long chain omega-3 fatty acids play protective roles
from recent human trials. Each chapter evaluates developing
information on the possible mechanistic role of long chain omega-3
fatty acids. After showing their requirement and involvement in
health promotion there are reviews of various sources and ways to
protect and promote them. Authors provide support for the benefits
and sources of long chain omega-3 fatty acids and their increased
dietary intake that reduce various physical and mental illnesses.
Omega-6/3 Fatty Acids: Functions, Sustainability and Perspectives
is a unique and important new volume that provides the latest data
and reviews to physicians who need to assess serum omega-6/3 and
fatty acids to help diagnose risks and change diets and to inform
industry and the scientific community with reviews of research for
actions including new studies and therapies.
It is essential to force a U-turn in the way contemporary medicine
approaches ill-health diseases. Early prevention of primary risk
factors is a far more promising approach compared to late acute
treatment of secondary risk factors in reducing the cost burden of
Public Health, not mentioning the expected benefits of the former
versus the latter approaches with regards to the Quality of Life.
Wild-Type Food in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention: The
Columbus Concept is one of the first books to focus on the role of
omega-6/3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in unhealthy diets. The
volume is divided into five sections. The first identifies the
missing essential ratio of competing essential fatty acids in the
human diet and relates them to the upsurge of modern chronic
disease and associated health costs. The authors also explain the
scientific basis of the Columbus Concept and the evidence
supporting the rehabilitation of dietary/blood cholesterol. In the
second section, authors discuss the essential ingredients in a
daily diet that make blood vessels healthy and resistant. The third
section introduces the functional part of the diet that brings
about health benefits and healthy blood vessels. The fourth section
details the health benefits of wild-type foods in various cultures.
The final section investigates the possibility for novel sources
for health promotion. Wild-Type Food in Health Promotion and
Disease Prevention: The Columbus Concept presents a cutting-edge,
in-depth investigation into new methods of health promotion.
