Nutrizione clinica

L'occhio vuole la sua parte, si dice comunemente, ma noi aggiungiamo che l'occhio vuole anche mangiare bene. È noto ormai come una corretta alimentazione e un giusto apporto di sostanze nutritive e di oligoelementi siano essenziali per un valido funzionamento del nostro organismo e della vista. L'alimentazione costituisce un perno della prevenzione in campo medico e un passo fondamentale e primario di qualunque terapia come oggi afferma la nutriceutica. Impedire l'insorgenza di malattie come la cataratta e la degenerazione maculare senile o rallentarle non è un compito semplice e mangiare nel modo più conveniente può aiutarci parecchio.

Con questo lavoro gli autori, noti esperti di nutrizione, vogliono fornire uno strumento valido e pratico nell'uso, che possa dare la descrizione chiara e dettagliata di alcune diete e di tutte le terapie naturali che può consigliare il Nutrizionista, sia esso medico o biologo. Nel libro quindi, oltre alle basi e agli accorgimenti per una corretta educazione alimentare, si trovano: - le diete frutto della esperienza clinica degli autori e che hanno fornito risposte incoraggianti sulla loro efficacia; - i concetti e le applicazioni della Nutrizione Olistica, metodica già nota, efficace nel prevenire e nel curare, che viene oggi insegnata in alcuni corsi di aggiornamento e in tre Master Universitari; - i diversi prodotti naturali che possono essere consigliati anche in ambito nutrizionale: la Fitoterapia, la Floriterapia, gli Oligoelementi, i Sali di Schussler, le Vitamine e i Minerali.

Now widely adopted on courses throughout the world, the prestigious Nutrition Society Textbook series provides students with the scientific basics in nutrition in the context of a systems and disease approach rather than on a nutrient by nutrient basis. In addition books provide a means to enable teachers and students to explore the core principles of nutrition and to apply these throughout their training to foster critical thinking at all times. This NS Textbook on Sport and Exercise Nutrition has been written to cover the latest information on the science and practice of sport and exercise nutrition. A key concept behind this textbook is that it aims to combine the viewpoints of world leading nutrition experts from both academia/research and a practical stand point. Plus where necessary there are additional practitioner based authors to ensure theory is translated into practice for each chapter in the form of either 'practice tips' or 'information sheets' at the end of relevant chapters. The textbook in essence can be divided into three distinct but integrated parts: Part 1: covers the key components of the science that supports the practice of sport and exercise nutrition including comprehensive reviews on: nutrients both in general and as exercise fuels; exercise physiology; hydration, micronutrients; and supplements. Part 2: moves into focusing on specific nutrition strategies to support different types of training including: resistance; power/sprint; middle distance/speed endurance; endurance; technical/skill, team; and specific competition nutrition needs. The unique format of this textbook is that it breaks down nutrition support into training specific as opposed to the traditional sport specific support. This reflects the majority of current sport and exercise requirements of the need to undertake concurrent training and therefore facilitating targeted nutrition support to the different training components through the various macro and micro training cycles. Part 3: explores some of the practical issues encountered in working in the sport and exercise nutrition field and includes key sport related topics such as: disability sport; weight management; eating disorders; bone and gut health; immunity; injury; travel; and special populations and situations. READERSHIP: Students of nutrition and dietetics at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. All those working in the field of nutrition and related health sciences.

Nutrition, appetite, and involuntary weight loss are issues that affect a large number of cancer patients and cancer survivors. Aspects such as symptom management, behavioural modification, exercise and medication are all important aspects of cancer care, but nutritional issues at the end of life can be accompanied by contentious ethical factors as well as religious and cultural influences that need to be addressed by health professionals. This book enables physicians, nurses and also dieticians to better discuss these complex issues with patients and their families. This comprehensive reference book provides both background information and practical, clinical advice for managing the cancer patient at all stages of their disease trajectory. It includes information that relates to patients who are continuing to receive disease-specific therapy, the cancer survivor, as well as patients with advanced or recurrent cancer receiving palliative care. Basic principles such as epidemiology and physiology set the scene, leading into the cachexia/anorexia syndrome, treatment options, nutritional counselling, enteral and parenteral nutrition, complementary/alternative therapies, exercise, clinical outcomes measures in each of the clinical groups, and focus on special populations and their specific needs. Multidimensional, interdisciplinary clinical evaluation and treatment is emphasised, and ethical, religious, and cultural factors are also addressed. Multidisciplinary in nature, this book draws on the experience of the editors' work across the fields of oncology, palliative care, surgery, primary care, nursing, dietetics and nutritional science. It will prove invaluable to all general practitioners, internists, medical oncologists and surgeons, nurses, palliative care specialists and related professionals involved in the care of the cancer patient.
