Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on obesity has been written in a very different way — not those typical book type — which preaches high and mighty things. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility. A few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications, or mental illness. Evidence to support the view that obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is not generally supported. On average, obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass. Obesity is mostly preventable through a combination of social changes and personal choices. Changes to diet and exercising are the main treatments. Diet plays an important role in the genesis of obesity. Personal choices, advertising, social customs and cultural influences, as well as food availability and pricing all play a role in determining what and how much an individual eats. This book has been written not in the usual format of cause-effect-treatment. When we are in the house we get to eat only what is in the kitchen but when we go to a cafeteria, we can get whatever we want, and of there is also the advantage of self-service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although love and relationships have been focal points for poets and philosophers for thousands of years, these topics had not traditionally been the focus of empirical research. As a result, very little was known about how couples maintained happiness and satisfaction in their relationships, or how relationships deteriorated, ultimately ending in separation or divorce. However, since the early 1980s, relationships research has blossomed as a field – and is now one of the most vibrant topics in social psychology and beyond. This volume brings together the latest research on couple functioning from the perspectives of social and personality psychology, neurobiology, health, and clinical psychology. Additionally, the research presented highlights the use of survey, experimental, implicit, and longitudinal methods, as well as specialized techniques employed in neuroscience, psychophysiology, and psychoneuroimmunology in the study of couple level processes. The underlying aim of this volume is to examine how these theories and methods converge to provide a deeper, holistic model of couples’ processes and functioning. With its state-of-the-art, integrative overview of this exciting discipline, The Science of the Couple is essential reading for social psychologists, clinicians, and anyone with an interest in the dynamics of interpersonal relationships.

Download or read book Health And Hygine written by Dr. Yogendra Kumar Payasi and published by OrangeBooks Publication. This book was released on 2022-06-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book entitled “Health and Hygiene” has been authored keeping in view the instructions issued in New Education Policy of India for the students of UG and PG (Zoology; Home Science and Environmental Science) students. Problem of Health and Hygiene has been highlighted by hon’ble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi Ji in the past years. Health is defined as a state of being free from illness or injury. It also includes a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. Hygiene is defined as a series of practices and performances to preserve health. As there is scattered matter on health and hygiene hence a comprehensive attempt has been taken to compose this book in limited seven chapters namely; Public Health and Hygiene; Nutrition and Human Health; Nutritional regulatory physiology; Food Additives and Human Health; Communicable Disease like measles; Polio; Chicken Guniya; Rabies; Plague; Leprosy and AIDS. Also non-communicable diseases like Hypertension (High Blood Pressure); Coronary heart disease; Stroke; Diabetes; Obesity and Mental disorders has been described. The book may be helpful for general public and also students of paramedical sciences and medical sciences. Besides the afore mentioned topics, pathogenic nature of microbes has also been described in this book. The book has been written in lucid and fair language for better understanding of students of various Colleges and Universities of India. Where so ever required tables and diagrams and data has also been incorporated. Lack of comprehensive treatise on Human Health and Hygiene has prompted this humble piece of work leading to the problems of health and hygiene. This will prove an ideal text book for UG and PG students of Zoology, Environmental Science, Home Science looking for a comprehensive source on a wide variety of topics related with health and hygiene. Inclusion of communicable and non-communicable diseases could be an added advantage for the readers. It is hoped that the book will be an invaluable tool for students, researchers, teachers and practitioners also working in the field of health and hygiene.
