This work talks about the taking in and use of food and other nourishing material by the body. Nutrition is a 3-part process. First, food or drink is consumed. Second, the body breaks down the food or drink into nutrients. Third, the nutrients travel through the bloodstream to different parts of the body where they are used as fuel and for many other purposes. To give the body proper nutrition, a person has to eat and drink enough of the foods that contain key nutrients. This new book examines new research in this field which is belatedly receiving the proper attention.

Far from a sign of healthy prosperity and contentment, overweight and obesity are now considered high risk factors for a wide range of diseases including early death and disability, heart disease, diabetes, reproductive problems, cancer, breathing problems and arthritis. Obesity, now at epidemic levels in many countries, is defined as an excessively high amount of body fat or adipose tissue in relation to lean body mass. The amount of body fat (or adiposity) includes concern for both the distribution of fat throughout the body and the size of the adipose tissue deposits. This book includes within its scope the causal connection of obesity to diseases as well as the prevention and treatment of obesity. Leading-edge scientific research from throughout the world is presented.

El objetivo de este libro es presentar los métodos del análisis de alimentos más comunes y de mayor interés para el estudiante de nutrición, orientándolo principalmente al análisis químico a través del desarrollo de técnicas analíticas con las que pueden obtenerse resultados reproducibles y en las que se ha limitado la dependencia de costosos equipos de investigación, sin menoscabo de la calidad del análisis. Las técnicas empleadas infieren el desarrollo de procedimientos del tipo gravimétrico y volumétrico en general con los que se pretende que el estudiante se interese en continuar con la investigación de los métodos instrumentales.
