Lifestyle psychiatry through the lens of behavioral medicine
Lifestyle medicine is a practice which adopts evidence-based lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic diseases. The six main pillars of this specialty include physical activity, nutrition, stress resilience, cessation or risk reduction of substance use, quality sleep, and connectivity. Lifestyle psychiatry is a rapidly emerging area within healthcare informed by rigorous research within the social and biological sciences, public health, and medicine. A volume in the Lifestyle Medicine series, this book uses a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach to prevent and treat psychiatric disorders and promote mental and physical well-being through evidence-based lifestyle interventions.

Life - As a Matter of Fat : The Emerging Science of Lipidomics
Lipids are as important for life as proteins, sugars, and genes. The present book gives a multi-disciplinary perspective on the physics of life and the particular role played by lipids and the lipid-bilayer component of cell membranes. The book is aimed at undergraduate students and young research workers within physics, chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, nutrition, as well as pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences. The emphasis is on the physical properties of lipid membranes seen as soft and molecularly structured interfaces. By combining and synthesizing insights obtained from a variety of recent studies, an attempt is made to clarify what membrane structure is and how it can be quantitatively described. Furthermore, it is shown how biological function mediated by membranes is controlled by lipid membrane structure and organization on length scales ranging from the size of the individual molecule, across molecular assemblies of proteins and lipid domains in the range of nanometers, to the size of whole cells. Applications of lipids in nano-technology and biomedicine are also described.

Kidney Diseases
Kidney diseases is a “hidden epidemic” affecting 850 million people worldwide. It occurs when the kidneys become damaged and can’t perform their function. Damage may be caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, and various other chronic conditions. Kidney diseases can lead to other health problems, including weak bones, nerve damage, and malnutrition. There are two main types of kidney diseases: short-term (acute kidney failure) and lifelong (chronic kidney failure). If the diseases get worse over time, the kidneys may stop working completely. This means that dialysis will be required to perform the function of the kidneys or kidney transplant. Dialysis is a treatment that filters and purifies the blood using a machine. It can’t cure kidney diseases, but it can prolong the life.
Keto diet
It‘s a low-carb, high-fat eating plan. Most of what you eat is fat, whether that‘s unsaturated fats like nuts, seeds, and avocados, or saturated fats like butter and coconut oil. About 20%-30% of your diet is protein, either lean (like chicken breast) or fatty (like bacon). You‘re supposed to strictly limit carbs, even those that are typically considered healthy, such as beans, whole grains, milk, and many types of fruits and vegetables...

Japan Nutrition
This auto-translation book demonstrates a time series of nutrition improvement in Japan since the introduction of nutrition sciences to Japan about 150 years ago. The chapters present the historical event where nutritional deficiency due to food shortage was improved in almost a century, by the introduction of nutrition policy and practices such as the "Nutrition Improvement Law". The book contributed to the construction of a longevity nation by resolving the double burden of malnutrition, which is a mixture of undernutrition and overnutrition and creating a social environment in which sustainable healthy diets can be accessed.

Children's diabetes
Diabetes in infants, toddlers, older children, and adolescents poses serious physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Striking a balance among hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia, growth/development, and other life factors is not easy for health care providers, patients, or families. In addition, personal, family, or environmental conditions present before the onset of diabetes may compound the delicate balance needed to maintain good glycemic control. Therefore, there is a great need, especially at the time of initial diagnosis, to assess the developmental, behavioral, and psychosocial history of children with diabetes and their families.
Chia seeds : Tiny superfood, big impact
Chia (Salvia hispanica) is an annual herbaceous plant, the seeds of which were consumed already thousands of years ago.
