Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Over the past two decades type 2 diabetes has emerged as a leading threat to global health and the considerable overlap in obesity and diabetes trends are likely no coincidence. While the underpinnings for both etiologies are linked to lifestyles particularly dietary and physical activity patterns determining optimal approaches for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes using dietary composition remains a challenge. Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes: Etiology and Prevention rigorously examines various perspectives on diet and type 2 diabetes. The book presents a comprehensive description and evaluation of the central research to date primarily in humans on the macronutrients and their subclasses micronutrients foods beverages and overall dietary patterns with respect to the risk of type 2 diabetes. It addresses the mediating/mechanistic role of obesity and body composition throughout the text where appropriate. The chapter authors all leading researchers in the field discuss fundamental nutritional principles applied to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes as well as applied behavioral studies on nutrition and diabetes for each subject area. The depth and breadth of this book includes aspects of the food synergy model for understanding the complicated pathways between nutrition dietary habits and risk for type 2 diabetes. It also examines the effects of artificially sweetened beverages and coffee. This reference provides a review of the science on the potential impact of many components of dietary behavior and nutritional properties on etiology and risk for this disease knowledge that is essential for formulating informed approaches to public health progress in this area. | Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Disease

Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Disease

Lifestyle change is universally recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic disease yet the majority of clinical practice educational programs and clinical trials within these chronic disease spaces focus on medication use and procedures with insufficient emphasis on lifestyle medicine. The concept of lifestyle medicine can serve as a countermeasure acting through aspects of personal choice natural and built environments cultural traditions and socioeconomic influences that affect the metabolic health of an individual. Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Disease provides clinical evidence for and a mechanistic understanding of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine. It guides the reader to identify opportunities for early intervention rather than focus on the diagnosis and treatment of the established disease. Interventions at earlier points have the potential to mitigate progression prevent complications reduce costs and improve a patient’s overall health at all points in their lifetime. Key Features Provides mechanistic epidemiological and clinical understanding of all pillars of lifestyle medicine Presents information on mechanisms for lifestyle medicine in cardiometabolic disease Features a unique model that includes recognition of predisease and even pre-predisease with rationale for intervention Promotes evidence-based recommendations for all stages of cardiometabolic disease This volume in the Lifestyle Medicine series is an essential resource for clinicians and students providing them with information to help them to prevent complications reduce costs and improve a patient’s overall health at all points in their lifetime.

Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

This book explores the construction of Christian identity in fourth and fifth centuries through inventing fabricating and sharpening binary oppositions. Such oppositions for example Christians - pagans; truth - falsehood; the one true god - the multitude of demons; the right religion - superstition served to create and reinforce the Christian self-identity. The author examines how the Christian argumentation against pagans was intertwined with self-perception and self-affirmation. Discussing the relations and interaction between pagan and Christian cultures this book aims at widening historical understanding of the cultural conflicts and the otherness in world history thus contributing to the ongoing discussion about the historical and conceptual basis of cultural tolerance and intolerance. This book offers a valuable contribution to contemporary scholarly debate about Late Antique religious history and the relationship between Christianity and other religions. | Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

The Development of Marketing Management The Case of the USA c. 1910-1940

The Development of Marketing Management The Case of the USA c. 1910-1940

There has been much discussion about the origin of marketing and marketing thought and whether it was truly American in origin. Nevertheless it is true that US marketing management thought was very influential throughout the world in the latter half of the twentieth century becoming dominant after the Second World War. In order to recognize why and how this kind of thought developed in the USA it is necessary to explore the historical contexts in which the marketing management thought was produced and developed at this time as well as the contents of the thought. This work argues that while doubts about the US origin of marketing are acceptable marketing management thought which especially appeals to mass producers such as the USA developed according to their particular needs. This book looks at the relationship between theories of marketing and the historical context in which they were developed rescuing them from later generalizations that failed to take into account contemporary social and economic factors. | The Development of Marketing Management The Case of the USA c. 1910-1940
