The Omega-Factor Promoting Health Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death

The Omega-Factor Promoting Health Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death

Omega-3 fatty acids can limit the inflammation that is the underlying cause of many severe diseases of modern civilization including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The Omega-Factor: Promoting Health Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death presents information on the mechanisms whereby inflammation damages organs and the blood vessels serving them as well as the hard science on the mechanisms by which the omega-3 fatty acids protect those tissues. It also features peer-reviewed evidence from clinical trials on these topics. The book gives cutting-edge information from state-of-the-art developments such as the test that can be done to measure the omega-3 status of one’s own tissues the “Omega-3 Index” which can give many years of early warning so that one can take preventive steps and decrease the odds of a heart attack stroke or kidney disease. It explains why a Mediterranean diet plan rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is protective and it features a six-day meal plan with recipes that will improve body levels of omega-3s. This book helps readers understand the differences between various sources of omega-3 fatty acids namely flaxseed vs fish oil vs algae-derived oils. Features • Provides evidence-based information on why blood vessels require omega-3 fatty acids to maintain health • Details best sources of the various fatty acids including plant-based sources • Includes “at-home tests” to assess cardiovascular status • Presents literature on how to improve chances of avoiding heart attacks peripheral arterial disease strokes kidney disease and Type 2 diabetes The Omega-Factor: Promoting Health Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death is an essential resource for healthcare professionals clinicians and dietitians as well as for the reader who aims to achieve the goal of a much longer health-span not just a longer lifespan. | The Omega-Factor Promoting Health Preventing Premature Aging and Reducing the Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the DHA Principle

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the DHA Principle

The physical-chemical properties of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) enable it to facilitate rapid biochemical processes in the membrane. This effect has numerous benefits including those involved in the growth of bacteria rapid energy generation human vision brain impulse and photosynthesis to name a few. Yet DHA also carries risks that can lead to cellular death and disease. Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the DHA Principle explores the roles of omega-3 fatty acids in cellular membranes ranging from human neurons and swimming sperm to deep sea bacteria and develops a principle by which to assess their benefits and risks. The DHA Principle states that the blending of lipids to form cellular membranes is evolutionarily-honed to maximize benefit while minimizing risk and that a complex blending code involving conformational dynamics energy stress energy yield and chemical stability underlies all cellular membranes. This book lays the groundwork to understanding this code. It examines the evolution of DHA and the membrane and explores the general properties of omega-3s and other membrane lipids. It then focuses on cellular biology before shifting to a practical discussion on applications. The authors discuss the DHA Principle as applied to petroleum degradation winemaking global warming molecular farming aging neurodegenerative diseases and the prevention of colon cancer. Reflecting the increased public interest that has emerged over the years this volume uses an integrative approach to explain the complex roles of omega-3s in the membrane. Incorporating principles from chemistry cellular biology evolution and ecology this work gives researchers in a variety of fields the building blocks to stimulate further study.

Kinship Bereavement in Later Life A Special Issue of Omega - Journal of Death and Dying

Kinship Bereavement in Later Life A Special Issue of Omega - Journal of Death and Dying

This collection of articles is an outgrowth of the Death Dying Bereavement and Widowhood Interest Group of the Gerontological Society of America and comprises empirical accounts of several distinct family losses: the death of a spouse sibling parent child and grandchild. These articles represent normative and non-normative losses; the juxtaposition of short-term and long- term bereavement reactions; cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons; sociological psychological and psycholinguistic research paradigms; national and regional level data; and qualitative and quantitative analytic strategies. The articles and their approaches are as diverse and varied as are the experiences they describe yet each contributes something of value to the more singular and superordinate goal of understanding kinship bereavement in the later years. | Kinship Bereavement in Later Life A Special Issue of Omega - Journal of Death and Dying

On Constructive Interpretation of Predictive Mathematics (1990)

On Constructive Interpretation of Predictive Mathematics (1990)

First published in 1990 this book consists of a detailed exposition of results of the theory of interpretation developed by G. Kreisel — the relative impenetrability of which gives the elucidation contained here great value for anyone seeking to understand his work. It contains more complex versions of the information obtained by Kreisel for number theory and clustering around the no-counter-example interpretation for number-theorectic forumulae provide in ramified analysis. It also proves the omega-consistency of ramified analysis. The author also presents proofs of Schütte’s cut-elimination theorems which are based on his consistency proofs and essentially contain them — these went further than any published work up to that point helping to squeeze the maximum amount of information from these proofs. | On Constructive Interpretation of Predictive Mathematics (1990)

Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

'Gyorgy Scrinis exposes the folly of the reductionist approach and proposes an alternative food quality paradigm based on respecting traditional dietary patterns and reducing technological processing. It may offend nutritionists and will upset the food industry but it could also herald a delicious revolution in our ability to eat well. ' - Dr Rosemary Stanton OAM NutritionistFrom the fear of 'bad nutrients' such as fat and cholesterol to the celebration of supposedly health-enhancing vitamins and omega-3 fats our understanding of food and health has been dominated by a reductive scientific focus on nutrients. It is on this basis that butter and eggs have been vilified yet highly processed foods such as margarine have been promoted as being healthier than whole foods. Gyorgy Scrinis argues that this ideology of nutritionism has narrowed and distorted our appreciation of food quality while promoting nutrition confusion and nutritional anxieties. The food industry exploits these anxieties by nutritionally modifying their food products and marketing them with nutritional and health claims. Through a fascinating investigation into such issues as the butter versus margarine debate the battle between low-fat low-carb low-calorie and low-GI weight-loss diets the limitations of dietary guidelines and the search for the optimal dietary pattern - from Mediterranean and vegetarian to paleo diets - Scrinis builds a revealing history of the scientific social and economic factors driving our modern fascination with nutrition and explores alternative ways of understanding food quality. | Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function

Dietary Lipids for Healthy Brain Function

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.
