Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diet is one of the important facets of comprehensive approach to good health along with physical, social, emotional, and intellectual well-being. During the second half of the 20th century, we witnessed a dramatic change in our eating patterns and lifestyle aided by agricultural and industrial revolution, globalisation, and urbanisation and emergence of associated diet related chronic diseases such as obesity, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, some type of cancer, stroke, and degenerative arthritis. The science of food and nutrition is very complex. Nutrition science like many other fields of science is evolutionary and there are always conflicting research outcomes that need to be carefully evaluated. We ingest hundreds of dietary components every day and understanding various metabolic pathways and the effect of interactions of various dietary components in vivo is rather challenging. Recent advances in genetic research fostered the emergence of new disciplines such as nutrigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics which can shed light on the molecular level interaction between dietary nutrients and the genome. These technologies provide the vision for future nutrition research that may unravel how the diet/genome interactions modifies the phenotype. Food may not be the overall cure for the treatment of every possible disease, but the importance of food in both causing and relieving certain problems cannot be neglected. This is one of the most researched topics and there is a lot written about it. However, this book is probably the only text that provides up to date information on the various interrelated topics on food and nutrition that would be of interest to wider community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dealing with a sick plant is one of the most frustrating situations a gardener can face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of European wild food plants and herbal medicines is an old discipline that has been invigorated by a new generation of researchers pursuing ethnobotanical studies in fresh contexts. Modern botanical and medical science itself was built on studies of Medieval Europeans' use of food plants and medicinal herbs. In spite of monumental changes introduced in the Age of Discovery and Mercantile Capitalism, some communities, often of immigrants in foreign lands, continue to hold on to old recipes and traditions, while others have adopted and enculturated exotic plants and remedies into their diets and pharmacopoeia in new and creative ways. Now in the 21st century, in the age of the European Union and Globalization, European folk botany is once again dynamically responding to changing cultural, economic, and political contexts. The authors and studies presented in this book reflect work being conducted across Europe's many regions. They tell the story of the on-going evolution of human-plant relations in one of the most bioculturally dynamic places on the planet, and explore new approaches that link the re-evaluation of plant-based cultural heritage with the conservation and use of biocultural diversity.

This book was released on 2013-05-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Living well from our garden - Mediterranean style' will be of interest to anyone interested in developing a healthier lifestyle for themselves and their family, while becoming becoming more self sufficient and saving money in doing so. The book describes the evolution of my garden in Spain over twenty five years helped by my wife Clodagh to enable total wellness. Total wellness from our garden includes spiritual and mental well being, sustained good physical health, gastronomic satisfaction and economic well being. The book examines what is good eating following a Mediterranean diet and the way in which we gradually became almost 100% self sufficient in ecological produce - we need to buy cheese, cured ham and wine. The driving force of our efforts have been three fold. Firstly I retired in 1993 following two cancer operations and the surgeon suggesting that I would live a better and longer life if I agreed to have no chemo and radiotherapy but retire early to my then holiday home to live on a healthy Mediterranean diet in a peaceful mountain village which was then self sufficient and exporting vegetables fruit meats olive oil etc. This I did but within ten years much of the local agriculture was being abandoned and what was left was chemical driven and not ecological. Now in 2013 95% is abandoned! So the second driving force was to grow our own ecological produce and become self sufficient. Thirdly we wanted to avoid going down the route of vitamin and mineral supplements so we focussed on growing those things that had significant vitamin and mineral and fibre contents and recognised wellness benefits. What we grew and why is described. Fourthly foodstuffs and eating out was becoming expensive and we knew our money would dwindle over the years. I am now 76 years old and fit. The book also includes a novel self analysis of how well you source prepare and eat your food to determine whether you are a dedicated fast food addict or moving towards being a 21st century style gastronome concerned about the quality of what the family eats. 'Living well from our garden' is a milestone case history and handbook for garden design and healthy living and is a natural follow on from our books 'Your Garden in Spain', 'Growing Healthy Fruit in Spain', 'Growing Healthy Vegetables in Spain' and 'Apartment Gardening Mediterranean Style'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Special Issue gathers 14 original research papers to disseminate new data on phytochemicals from vegetables and fruits, which are recommended for their health-promoting properties. Epidemiological, toxicological and nutritional studies suggest an association between fruit and vegetable consumption and lower incidence of chronic diseases, such as coronary heart problems, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. In this Special Issue the following topics have been addressed: (i) the protective roles, antioxidant and others bioactivities such as genotoxic and antigenotoxic effects in the Drosophila melanogaster animal genetic model and pro-apoptotic capacities against cancer processes, including cytotoxicity and clastogenic DNA activity, using an in vitro human cancer model (HL-60 cell line, (ii), new sustainable approaches based on near-infrared spectroscopy to determine the quality, (iii) broad-scale metabolomic investigation for the development of functional food and, (iv) processing techniques that can modify the initial nutritional and antioxidant content of fruits, vegetables, and additives. In summary, the information in this Special Issue will be interesting for researchers in this field and the general public interested in the relationship between vegetables and health.

Download or read book Gardens of New Spain written by William W. Dunmire and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Spanish began colonizing the Americas in the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, they brought with them the plants and foods of their homeland—wheat, melons, grapes, vegetables, and every kind of Mediterranean fruit. Missionaries and colonists introduced these plants to the native peoples of Mexico and the American Southwest, where they became staple crops alongside the corn, beans, and squash that had traditionally sustained the original Americans. This intermingling of Old and New World plants and foods was one of the most significant fusions in the history of international cuisine and gave rise to many of the foods that we so enjoy today. Gardens of New Spain tells the fascinating story of the diffusion of plants, gardens, agriculture, and cuisine from late medieval Spain to the colonial frontier of Hispanic America. Beginning in the Old World, William Dunmire describes how Spain came to adopt plants and their foods from the Fertile Crescent, Asia, and Africa. Crossing the Atlantic, he first examines the agricultural scene of Pre-Columbian Mexico and the Southwest. Then he traces the spread of plants and foods introduced from the Mediterranean to Spain’s settlements in Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and California. In lively prose, Dunmire tells stories of the settlers, missionaries, and natives who blended their growing and eating practices into regional plantways and cuisines that live on today in every corner of America.
