DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs the population grows older, strategies that can promote healthy aging and offset the development of age-related neurodegenerative diseases are becoming increasingly relevant. Consuming a balanced, nutritious diet is important for maintaining health, especially as individuals age. The brain has a high demand for nutrients and nutritional imbalances dampen the structural and functional integrity of the brain critically impacting our cognitive capacities. Indeed, several lines of evidence suggest that nutritional strategies can reduce the risk of age-related neurodegenerative diseases and exhibit potential beneficial effects in delaying the onset of brain diseases and slowing down the progression of some conditions. Some studies have shown that nutritional interventions improve cognitive function in patients with AD. However, the research linking the role of nutritional interventions with age-related neurodegenerative diseases is still in the initial stage and has made little progress. It is still currently unclear if dietary ingredients can impact and modulate brain aging and neurodegeneration, especially the molecular mechanism of nutritional interventions promoting brain health are not yet clear. The development of effective nutritional interventions for promoting healthy aging is becoming an emerging and challenging area.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe WHO estimates that by 2050, 30% of the world's population will be elderly. The increased life expectancy of the population coupled with falling fertility contributes to this scenario in many countries. Although the life expectancy of the population has increased, the recurring concern is to ensure the quality of life of this group. Some diseases are directly associated with the aging process, such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis. On the other hand, chronic degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cancer, are associated with long-term inadequate health habits and, therefore, are more prevalent in the elderly. Among the factors that contribute to a lifestyle that influences the onset of these diseases, we can highlight sedentarism and poor diet quality.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe agri-food sector encompasses an extremely wide range of activities regarding the entire value chain of a product and generates a huge volume of work for translators. Nevertheless, the sheer proportion has yet to be truly reflected in academic studies and research. This work intends to shed light on the vague, and barely addressed until now, delimitation of the area of activity of the multifaceted and versatile agri-food translator. Through a text typologisation of genres and subgenres, within the margins of hybridity, specialisation and register, this work approaches the characteristics of scientific-technical, medical-health, legal-administrative, humanistic-literary, tourist, advertising and gastronomic and culinary agri-food texts, and assesses the skills required from their translator.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe association between diet and health has been identified, and a healthy diet can help prevent various cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Dietary behaviors and dietary patterns are changing, especially in developing countries; with the ever-increasing amount of processed food and changing lifestyles, people eat more foods rich in energy, fat, free sugars, and salt, but not enough in fruits, vegetables, and other dietary fibers. CVD, including coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, and hypertension, are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Poor dietary behaviors and patterns are risk factors for the continuing increase of CVD incidence, accounting for more than 11 million deaths.
