one hundred distinct Indigenous languages were spoken in California, and many of them are in use today.

By Claire Thompson, Dianna Smith. 2023
This book examines the social inequalities relating to food insecurity in the UK, as well as drawing parallels with the…
US. Access to food in the UK, and especially access to healthy food, is a constant source of worry for many in this wealthy country. Crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have coincided with a steep rise in the cost of living, meaning household food insecurity has become a reality for many more households. This book introduces a new framework to examine the many influences on local-level food inequalities, whether they result from individual circumstances or where a person lives. The framework will allow researchers new to the field to consider the many influences on food security, and to support emerging research around different sub-topics of food access and food security. Providing a thorough background to two key concepts, food deserts and food insecurity, the book documents the transition from area-based framing of food resources, to approaches which focus on household food poverty and the rise of food banks. The book invites researchers to acknowledge and explore the ever changing range of place-based factors that shape experiences of food insecurity: from transport and employment to rural isolation and local politics. By proposing a new framework for food insecurity research and by drawing on real-world examples, this book will support academic and applied researchers as they work to understand and mitigate the impacts of food insecurity in local communities. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of food and nutrition security, public health, and sociology. It will also appeal to food policy professionals and policymakers who are working to address social inequalities and improve access to healthy and nutritious food for all.Sobrevivir a un mundo gordofóbico: Sin caer en trastornos alimenticios

Con más de quince años de experiencia como nutricionista, Jesica Lavia cuestiona la gordofobia y reclama dejar de estigmatizar y…
patologizar a las personas por el tamaño de sus cuerpos y "entender todas las aristas que afectan no solo lo que comemos, sino el acceso a lo que comemos y cómo nos relacionamos con nuestra alimentación. Entender cómo lo cultural nos atraviesa y la urgencia de que el cambio sea colectivo". Argentina ocupa el segundo lugar a nivel mundial con más casos de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Este es un claro indicador de que vivimos en una sociedad en la que la delgadez es un valor y un ideal por alcanzar. Cualquiera que se desvíe de ese camino sufre discriminación social y también médica, porque hasta en un consultorio se alarman si nuestro peso se escapa de los índices que determinan cuándo estamos obesos. Esto está generando una cultura de dietas y una ola cada vez más grande de gordofobia, que van minando nuestra salud mental y pueden disparar varios trastornos de la alimentación. Con más de quince años de experiencia como licenciada en Nutrición, Jesica Lavia ofrece una mirada cruda y realista sobre este problema, al tiempo que reclama y propone un cambio de paradigma para dejar de estigmatizar, oprimir y patologizar a las personas por el tamaño de sus cuerpos. Y "entender todas las aristas que afectan no solo lo que comemos, sino el acceso a lo que comemos y cómo nos relacionamos con nuestra alimentación. Comprender cómo lo cultural nos atraviesa y la urgencia de que el cambio sea colectivo".You can prevent coronary heart disease in yourself, but you need to have the knowledge of the risk factors, the…

some, the idea of fasting by eating only one or two meals a day still sounds like an extreme and overly restrictive dieting tactic.

shopping lists.For decades, the diet wars have pitted advocates for the low-carb, high-fat paleo diet against advocates of the exclusively plant-based vegan diet and dozens of other diets leaving most of us bewildered and confused. For those of us on the sidelines, trying to figure out which approach is best has been nearly impossible - both extreme diets have unique benefits and drawbacks.

With The Pegan Diet, a food is medicine approach, Mark Hyman explains how to take the best aspects of the paleo diet (good fats, limited refined carbs, limited sugar) and combine them with the vegan diet (lots and lots of fresh, healthy veggies) to create a delicious diet that is not only good for your brain and your body, but also good for the planet.Featuring 30 recipes, and plenty of infographics illustrating the concepts, The Pegan Diet offers a balanced and easy-to-follow approach to eating that will help you get, and stay, fit, healthy, focused, and happy - for life.(P) 2021 Hachette AudioThe intertribal pow-wow is the most widespread venue for traditional Indian music and dance in North America.

Indigenous Motherhood in the Academy highlights the experiences and narratives emerging from Indigenous mothers in the academy who are negotiating their…
roles in multiple contexts. The essays in this volume contribute to the broader higher education literature and the literature on Indigenous representation in the academy, filling a longtime gap that has excluded Indigenous women scholar voices. This book covers diverse topics such as the journey to motherhood, lessons through motherhood, acknowledging ancestors and grandparents in one’s mothering, how historical trauma and violence plague the past, and balancing mothering through the healing process. More specific to Indigenous motherhood in the academy is how culture and place impacts mothering (specifically, if Indigenous mothers are not in their traditional homelands as they raise their children), how academia impacts mothering, how mothering impacts scholarship, and how to negotiate loss and other complexities between motherhood and one’s role in the academy.Lifestyle Nursing (Lifestyle Medicine)

oftentimes, reversing chronic diseases. This fast-growing specialty operates off six main principles including nutrition, physical activity, stress resilience, cessation or risk reduction of substance use, quality sleep, and social connectivity. Nurses are the primary providers of hospital-based patient care and deliver most of the nation's long-term care.

Lifestyle Nursing examines the concepts of lifestyle medicine and nursing practice, it is specifically designed to help nurses introduce the concepts of lifestyle medicine to readers while also encouraging them to focus on their own wellness. This book features nutritional guidelines and supplemental materials operationalizing this basic nutrition knowledge into personal and patient wellness. It addresses evidence-based findings of chronic diseases including heart diseases and stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cancers, which can often be prevented by lifestyle interventions. Drawing from nursing and medical literature, this volume in the Lifestyle Medicine series encourages incorporation of lifestyle principles into nursing practices professionally and personally which will lead to overall improved patient outcomes and happier, healthier nurses.Brain Changer: How diet can save your mental health – cutting-edge science from an expert
By Professor Felice Jacka. 2019
'This is a fascinating book by a leading researcher, covering one of the most exciting areas of modern nutritional research…
about how our diet can impact our gut and brain health. The combination of personal stories and cutting-edge science is a real winner' DR MICHAEL MOSLEY, AUTHOR AND TV PRESENTERA combination of Professor Felice Jacka's love of food and her own experience of depression and anxiety as a young woman led her to question whether what we put in our mouths everyday affects more than our waistline. Felice set out on a journey of discovery to change the status quo and uncover the truth through rigorous science. Beginning her PhD in 2005, she examined the association between women's diets and their mental health, focusing on depression and anxiety. She soon discovered - you feel how you eat. It is Professor Jacka's ground-breaking research that has now changed the way we think about mental and brain health in relation to diet. Brain Changer explains how and why we should consider our food as the basis of our mental and brain health throughout our lives. It includes a selection of recipes and meal plans featuring ingredients beneficial to mental health. It also includes the simple, practical solutions we can use to help prevent mental health problems in the first place and offers strategies for treating these problems if they do arise. This is not a diet book to help you on the weight scales. This is a guide to good habits to save your brain and to optimise your mental health through what you eat at every stage of life.(P)2019 Pan Macmillan AUAnxious Eaters: Why We Fall for Fad Diets (Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History)
By Janet Chrzan, Kima Cargill. 2022
What makes fad diets so appealing to so many people? How did there get to be so many different ones,…
often with eerily similar prescriptions? Why do people cycle on and off diets, perpetually searching for that one simple trick that will solve everything? And how did these fads become so central to conversations about food and nutrition?Anxious Eaters shows that fad diets are popular because they fulfill crucial social and psychological needs—which is also why they tend to fail. Janet Chrzan and Kima Cargill bring together anthropology, psychology, and nutrition to explore what these programs promise yet rarely fulfill for dieters. They demonstrate how fad diets help people cope with widespread anxieties and offer tantalizing glimpses of attainable self-transformation. Chrzan and Cargill emphasize the social contexts of diets, arguing that beliefs about nutrition are deeply rooted in pervasive cultural narratives. Although people choose to adopt new eating habits for individual reasons, broader forces shape why fad diets seem to make sense.Considering dietary beliefs and practices in terms of culture, nutrition, and individual psychological needs, Anxious Eaters refrains from moralizing or promoting a “right” way to eat. Instead, it offers new ways of understanding the popularity of a wide range of eating trends, including the Atkins Diet and other low- or no-carb diets; beliefs that ingredients like wheat products and sugars are toxic, allergenic, or addictive; food avoidance and “Clean Eating” practices; and paleo or primal diets. Anxious Eaters sheds new light on why people adopt such diets and why these diets remain so attractive even though they often fail.Indigenous America (True History)
