Protein Intake in Health and Disease (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Proteins are fundamental to human health, serving as building blocks for cellular structures, providing essential energy, and supporting tissue function. In Protein Intake in Health and Disease, the critical biomedical and nutritional roles of protein in the diet are explored in depth. Topics include protein quality, the impact of both low and high-protein diets, and the metabolic disorders and diseases linked to protein malnutrition. The book delves into protein's influence across the lifespan, from maternal health and early development to the nutritional needs of children, adolescents, and the aging population. Each chapter is enriched with practical insights for broader health applications and concise summary points to aid understanding.
