The Mediterranean Diet An Evidence-Based Approach

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Preedy Victor R, Watson Ronald Ross

Couverture de l’ouvrage The Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean Diet offers researchers and clinicians a single authoritative source which outlines many of the complex features of the Mediterranean diet: ranging from supportive evidence and epidemiological studies, to the antioxidant properties of individual components. This book embraces a holistic approach and effectively investigates the Mediterranean diet from the cell to the nutritional well-being of geographical populations. This book represents essential reading for researchers and practicing clinicians in nutrition, dietetics, endocrinology, and public health, as well as researchers, such as molecular or cellular biochemists, interested in lipids, metabolism, and obesity.

Section 1: The Mediterranean diet: concepts and general aspects

Section 2: Components of the Mediterranean diet

Section 3: Health and nutritional aspects of the Mediterranean diet; with subsections on Metabolism; Metabolic Syndrome; Obesity and Diabetes; Cardiovascular Disease; Cancer; Brain and Behaviour; Immunology; Life Stages; Organs and Applications; and Adverse Effects

Section 4: Novel nutraceuticals and edible plants used in the Mediterranean region
