Description: Neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's Disease by Charles S. Brennan, Binosha Fernando, Ralph N. Martins, Margaret A. Brennan, Stephanie J. Fuller Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Understanding the impact of diet, exercise, genetics, and hormones on the risk and development of Alzheimers and other neurogenerative diseases Diet is widely known to impact on neurological function. Nevertheless, academic texts discussing this relationship are relatively few in number. This book therefore fills an important gap in the current literature. Opening with an overview of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimers disease, the text then focuses on explaining the means by which glycemic control and lipid metabolism – and associated nutritional and lifestyle variables – may factor into such disorders prevention and treatment. An international group of experts in the fields of food science and neurodegeneration have contributed chapters that examine Alzheimers disease within a broad range of contexts. Offering dietary, genetic, and hormonal perspectives, the authors explore topics ranging from sugar consumption to digestive fermentation, and Alzheimers disease animal models to the cognition-enhancing effects of physical exercise. Also included are overviews of the latest research into current and developing methods of treatment and diagnosis, as well as differential diagnostics. This groundbreaking book: Explores how glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, lipid metabolism, and high intake of refined carbohydrates are linked to Alzheimers diseaseDiscusses how genetic makeup can impact risk of Alzheimers and Parkinsons diseaseExamines cognitive changes in neurodegeneration, lists current tests for determining cognitive impairment, and provides information concerning differential diagnosisDiscusses potential advantages of increasing antioxidant and micronutrient intakeReviews hormonal influences on neurodegenerationExamines the links between protein intake and Alzheimers disease. Neurodegeneration and Alzheimers Disease is an essential resource for researchers, medical practitioners, dietitians, and students with an interest in neurological diseases and their diagnosis and risk factors, as well as diet-related conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Lifestyle and diet influence neurodegeneration risk, and a better understanding of this evidence amongst health professionals will hopefully lead to greater public awareness of how to reduce the likelihood of these widespread conditions.
