Edra Spa Nutrition and Supplementation - for sport and
Book SynopsisDiet and food supplements can make a difference when you are doing regular physical activity, but you have to choose carefully and it is not easy to find your own way around the many proposals on the market. This book helps athletes in managing nutrition and choosing supplements that improve athletic performance, based on strong scientific evidence and in complete safety. It covers all the main types of physical activity, from the gym to cycling, from running to crossfit, considering also the needs of special categories of sportsmen, such as senior athletes, diabetics, vegans and paying particular attention to women. Specific nutritional approaches, such as the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, are also described. 86 data sheets report the features and properties supplements that allow an optimal performance. Each supplement is assigned a score, to allow the reader to evaluate its effectiveness in improving the parameters that influence athletic performance (strength, resistant strength, mass, endurance, weight loss, concentration, recovery).

Springer Production Practices and Quality Assessment of Food Crops: Plant Mineral Nutrition and Pesticide Management
Book SynopsisPlants require nutrients in order to grow, develop and complete their life cycle. Mineral fertilizers, and hence the fertilizer industry, constitute one of the most imp- tant keys to the world food supplies. There is growing concern about the safety and quality of food. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, which, together with nitrogen, form the structural matter in plants, are freely available from air and water. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, on the other hand, may not be present in quantities or forms sufficient to support plant growth. In this case, the absence of these nut- ents constitutes a limiting factor. The supply of nutrients to the plants should be balanced in order to maximise the efficiency of the individual nutrients so that these meet the needs of the particular crop and soil type. For example, it should be noted that EU-wide regulations are not designed to govern the specific details of mineral fertilizer use. Although plants receive a natural supply of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from organic matter and soil minerals, this is not usually sufficient to satisfy the demands of crop plants. The supply of nutrients must therefore be supplemented with fertilizers, both to meet the requirements of crops during periods of plant growth and to replenish soil reserves after the crop has been harvested. Pesticides are important in modern farming and will remain indispensable for the foreseeable future.Table of ContentsEnvironmental and Biological Monitoring of Exposure to Pesticides in Occupationally Exposed Subjects.- Crop Quality Under Adverse Conditions: Importance of Determining the Nutritional Status.- Phosphorus Management in French Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.).- Nutrition and Calcium Fertilization of Apple Trees.- Diagnosis, Prediction and Control of Boron Deficiency in Olive Trees.- Boron-Calcium Relationship in Biological Nitrogen Fixation under Physiological and Salt-Stressing Conditions.- Lime-Induced Iron Chlorosis in Fruit Trees.- Si in Horticultural Industry.- Biological Monitoring of Exposure to Pesticides in the General Population (Non Occupationally Exposed to Pesticides).

Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) The state of food security and nutrition in the
Book SynopsisThe international community is committed to ending hunger and all forms of malnutrition worldwide by 2030. While much progress has been made, conflict and human-induced and natural disasters are causing setbacks. This year's The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World warns that the long-term declining trend in undernourishment seems to have come to a halt and may have reversed, largely on account of the above-mentioned factors. Meanwhile, though progress continues to be made in reducing child malnutrition, rising overweight and obesity are a concern in most parts of the world. These and other findings are detailed in the 2017 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (formerly, The State of Food Insecurity in the World). For the first time, this year's report is published by an expanded partnership, with UNICEF and WHO now joining FAO, IFAD and WFP. The report also marks a new era in the monitoring of food security and nutrition in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. To assess progress made towards the goal of ending hunger, the report uses both the traditional measure of the prevalence of undernourishment and a new indicator, the prevalence of severe food insecurity, based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale. The report further looks at various forms of malnutrition, including trends and situations for child stunting, wasting and overweight and for adult obesity, breastfeeding and anaemia in women. The thematic part of the report sheds light on how the increasing incidence of conflict in the world is affecting food security and nutrition. It also explores how, by improving food security and nutrition and by making rural livelihoods more resilient, it is possible to help prevent conflicts and sustain peace.

Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Europe and Central Asia - regional overview of
Book SynopsisThe 2019 edition reports that, in Europe and Central Asia, food security has improved substantially over the past two decades and the vast majority of the 50 or so countries monitored managed to keep the prevalence of undernourishment below 5 percent ? less than half of the world average (10.8 percent).However, sizeable portions of the population have difficulty in regularly accessing nutritious and sufficient food. According to estimates, over 100 million people in the region are exposed to moderate or severe food insecurity ? an indicator, developed by FAO on the basis of the Food Insecurity Experience Scale, to track progress towards reaching Zero Hunger.To this end, the report calls on countries to channel more public investments into agriculture and rural areas and improve the quality of spending, as expenditures in these areas are low compared to the sector's importance in the economy. This situation can hamper the realization of food security, nutrition, and environmental goals.

Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Africa - regional overview of food security and
Book SynopsisThis edition looks at how, despite a recent slowdown in undernourishment, food insecurity is rising due to economic downturns, conflict and climate extremes. Progress is too slow to meet six key nutrition targets and Zero Hunger by 2030, with the latest data showing that there remain 256 million hungry people in Africa today. This report suggests that countries should develop policies and invest to achieve a more diversified economy and an inclusive structural transformation. Reducing inequalities, including gender-based and spatial ones, will be essential to strengthen household resilience and inclusive growth.

Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) 2019 Near East and North Africa: regional
Book SynopsisDespite encouraging trends, the food security and nutrition status of the population remains dire for many countries in the region; 55 million people are still affected by hunger. Reversing this will require governments to rethink their agricultural, health and trade policy. The past few decades have seen dramatic improvements in the region with respect to access to food, stunting rates, and premature death and disability caused by communicable, maternal, neonatal or nutritional diseases. However, the gains in the fight against hunger and malnutrition have been reversed in the wake of conflicts and violence that have spread in many parts of the region over the past decade. The report concludes that ending hunger and addressing the root causes of malnutrition will require bold action on several fronts, including ending conflicts and sustaining peace, and transforming food systems through agricultural, health, nutrition, trade, food and environmental policies that are gender- and climate-sensitive.

Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) 2019 regional overview of food security and
Book SynopsisLatin America and the Caribbean managed to reduce the number of undernourished by 20 million compared to the year 2000. However, 2018 marks the fourth consecutive year in which hunger shows a continuous increases.Moderate or severe food insecurity in Latin America increased considerably. This increase caused more than 32 million people to join the almost 155 million who lived in food insecurity in the Region in 2014-2016. The Region has shown significant progress in reducing child malnutrition and it is significantly distant and below the global prevalence of malnutrition in girls and boys. However, malnutrition due to excessive weight in the Region is one of the highest in the world and it continues to increase.This year, the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean focuses on food environments and describes some of the main policies that the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are developing to face the different forms of malnutrition

Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Régimes alimentaires sains et durables: Principes
Book SynopsisCes principes directeurs sont le résultat d'une consultation d'experts dirigée conjointement par la FAO et l'OMS en juillet 2019. Ils adoptent une approche holistique des régimes alimentaires et tiennent compte des recommandations nutritionnelles internationales, du coût environnemental de la production et de la consommation alimentaires ainsi que de la capacité d'adaptation aux contextes sociaux, culturels et économiques locaux. L'expression «alimentation saine et durable» a été convenue au cours de la consultation pour englober les deux dimensions de l'alimentation – durabilité et salubrité. Les régimes alimentaires sains et durables sont des modèles alimentaires qui promeuvent toutes les dimensions de la santé et du bien-être des individus, présentent un faible impact environnemental, sont accessibles, abordables et sont culturellement acceptables. Ils visent le bien-être des individus à toutes les étapes de la vie, pour les générations actuelles et futures. Ils contribuent à prévenir la malnutrition sous toutes ses formes et à réduire les risques de maladies non transmissibles liées à l'alimentation, tout en soutenant la préservation de la biodiversité. Ces principes directeurs soulignent le rôle de la consommation et des régimes alimentaires dans la contribution à la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable (ODD) au niveau des pays, en particulier les objectifs 1 (Pas de pauvreté), 2 (Faim zéro), 3 (Bonne santé et bien-être), 4 (Éducation de qualité), 5 (égalité entre les sexes), 12 (consommation et production responsables) et 13 (action pour le climat). Ils sont transcrits sous forme de messages clairs et non techniques à l'usage des gouvernements et d'autres acteurs impliqués dans la prise de décision politique et la communication.

Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Legal guide on school food and nutrition:
Book SynopsisA solid international consensus has emerged on the importance of nutrition for children's development and well-being. At the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), the Member States of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) committed to developing policies, programmes and initiatives to ensure healthy diets throughout the children's life cycle, emphasizing the potential of schools as platforms for integrated action.This Guide promotes a holistic and human rights-based approach to school food and nutrition, in which legislation is an indispensable tool to ensure the sustainability of public policy goals set by a country. In light of international law and standards, it provides practical information and guidance to develop or strengthen national legislation to improve food security and nutrition in schools as well as community development. The Guide presents a range of regulatory options and legislative examples of state practice that may contribute to building sound and coherent legal frameworks for school food and nutrition. It is a useful resource for law practitioners, policymakers, parliamentarians, and all actors who are involved in the design, implementation, or monitoring of school programmes and policies and most particularly, for those interested in taking legislative action (law-making or law reform)
