Vegetarian and Plant-Based Diets in Health and Disease Prevention
examines the science of vegetarian and plant-based diets and their
nutritional impact on human health. This book assembles the science
related to vegetarian and plant-based diets in a comprehensive,
balanced, single reference that discusses both the overall benefits
of plant-based diets on health and the risk of disease and issues
concerning the status in certain nutrients of the individuals,
while providing overall consideration to the entire spectrum of
vegetarian diets. Broken into five sections, the first provides a
general overview of vegetarian / plant-based diets so that readers
have a foundational understanding of the topic. Dietary choices and
their relation with nutritional transition and sustainability
issues are discussed. The second and third sections provide a
comprehensive description of the relationship between plant-based
diets and health and disease prevention. The fourth section
provides a deeper look into how the relationship between
plant-based diets and health and disease prevention may differ in
populations with different age or physiological status. The fifth
and final section of the book details the nutrients and substances
whose intakes are related to the proportions of plant or animal
products in the diet.
