DOWNLOAD EBOOKLa Educación para la Salud (EpS) es un proceso mediante el cual los individuos o grupos de personas aprenden hábitos que favorecen la promoción, el mantenimiento o la restauración de la salud, entendida como el bienestar físico, psíquico y social. La EpS comprende muchos aspectos: alimentación y nutrición, prevención de accidentes, higiene personal, prevención de enfermedades transmisibles, integración psicosocial, prevención de adicciones como el tabaquismo o las drogas, salud y medio ambiente, etc. Un capítulo muy importante de la EpS es una nutrición adecuada: es lo que llamamos una alimentación saludable. Este es el objetivo del libro: enseñar a las personas, sobre todo niños, adolescentes y adultos jóvenes, a comer bien, a comer sano. Esta materia tan importante ha sufrido variaciones en su integración en el currículum educativo. Sin embargo, tanto la escuela como la familia son los ámbitos más adecuados para educar a niños, mayores y adolescentes. El propósito fundamental del libro es mejorar la información, el conocimiento, la capacidad y las habilidades de los docentes en esta materia y ofrecerles las herramientas necesarias para que formen a las jóvenes generaciones en educación para la salud. También es una ayuda para la confección de menús saludables en el comedor escolar, algo que, en ocasiones, es un problema para los centros docentes. El libro está escrito en formato de preguntas y respuestas, con la rigurosidad de las recomendaciones científicas actuales sobre nutrición, pero con un lenguaje sencillo.

The volume features an impressive group of international scholars who explore the current biology and ecological status of these mammals in each of the geographic regions they inhabit. Many of these populations reside in developing countries, and before now, information on these species has been scarce. Topics cover a wide array of issues including genetics, physiology, behavior, ecology, and conservation. Discussions range from paleontological perspectives on xenarthran evolution to both lab and field-based studies of living species. Contemporary research in areas such as genome sequencing and leprosy in armadillos is also included.

ISBN-13: 3318056855
DOWNLOAD EBOOKMalnutrition caused by deficiencies of vitamins and minerals - also called hidden hunger - impairs both the intellectual and physical development of a child. Due to the absence of clinical symptoms and assessments, no intervention can be staged. The tragedy is that this, in turn, decreases the child’s chance to escape from poverty. This book looks at malnutrition in high-income countries, the nutrition transition and nutritional deficiencies in low-income countries, consequences of hidden hunger, and interventions to improve nutrition security. Written by leading experts in the field, it clearly stresses that national governments and international organizations must make malnutrition one of their top priorities in order to provide children with optimal conditions for a healthy future.
