Nutrition In The Prevention And Treatment Of Abdominal Obesity

Obesity research continues to accelerate at an impressive pace. The incidence of obesity also continues to accelerate resulting in an unprecedented epidemic that shows no significant signs of slowing down any time soon. Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Abdominal Obesity, Second Edition focuses on the important role that exercise, dietary changes, and foods play in promoting as well as reducing visceral fat. Nutritionists, dieticians, and healthcare providers seeking to address the abdominal obesity epidemic will use this comprehensive resource as a tool in their long-term goal of preventing chronic diseases, especially heart, vascular, and diabetic diseases. This updated reference serves as a progress report on the way to achieving mastery over the disease that is obesity. It is an important tool in proving a link to new knowledge, serving researcher and clinician alike, but in different ways. Experts from a broad range of disciplines are dealing with the consequences of excessive abdominal fat: cardiology, diabetes research, studies of lipids, endocrinology and metabolism, nutrition, obesity, and exercise physiology. Their chapters define a range of dietary approaches to reducing risk and associated chronic diseases; they begin by defining visceral obesity and its major outcomes. They also discuss the importance as well as challenges of dietary approaches to reduce abdominal obesity, as compared to clinical approaches, with major costs and risks. Serves as a starting point for in-depth discussions in academic settings as well as leads to revised and updated treatment options for practicing obesity-treatment specialists Offers detailed, well-documented reviews outlining the various dietary approaches to visceral obesity with their benefits and failures Includes updated research on the gut microbiome, FGF 21, and dietary foods and supplements
