Annotation The purpose of this Special Issue, "Egg Consumption and Human Health," is two-fold: 1. to address the lack of effect of eggs in increasing heart disease risk (this discussion will be based on what is known from epidemiological analysis and clinical interventions) and 2. to focus on the role of eggs in protecting against chronic disease. Eggs are more than just a cholesterol-containing food. They possess numerous nutritional benefits. This Special Issue will discuss eggs as a source of high-quality protein for individuals across the life spectrum, as a substantial source of choline (a known neurotransmitter involved in cognitive function), and as a source of highly bioavailable lutein and zeaxanthin (two carotenoids well-recognized for their major role in protecting against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, as well as for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties). Finally, the potential of incorporating eggs for weight loss interventions, due to their low glycemic index and their satiety effects, will also be discussed.

Self-care, Health.

In het beleidsdiscours rond zorg en welzijn staan zelfzorg, zelfredzaamheid en participatie meer en meer centraal. De actieve, mondige burger wordt verondersteld zijn verantwoordelijkheid op te nemen voor zijn eigen welbevinden. Maar hoe doe je dat als individuele patiënt of cliënt? De zorg- en welzijnssector van haar kant kampt met een steeds hogere werkdruk. Daardoor dreigt de medisch-technische benadering ten koste te gaan van de psycho-sociale noden van patiënten en cliënten. Hoe kunnen zorgprofessionelen het evenwicht bewaken?Een antwoord is te vinden bij de 1.400 zelfhulpgroepen in Vlaanderen. Patiënten en cliënten kunnen er terecht voor lotgenotencontact, informatie, praktische hulp en belangenbehartiging. Zelfhulpgroepen behandelen zorgvragen die zorgprofessionelen niet kunnen beantwoorden door tijdsgebrek of omdat ze onvoldoende voeling hebben met de leefwereld en de voorkeuren van de betrokkenen. Dit boek beschrijft het Vlaamse zelfhulplandschap en staat stil bij de geschiedenis en de achtergrond ervan. Het geeft inzicht in de werkwijze van zelfhulpgroepen en belicht hun positief effect aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de praktijk. Daarnaast biedt het handvatten om de samenwerking tussen zelfhulpgroepen en zorgprofessionelen te stimuleren. Hoe verwijs je als zorgprofessioneel je patiënt of cliënt door naar een zelfhulpgroep? Welke ondersteunende rollen kan je opnemen ten aanzien van de werking van zelfhulpgroepen? En op welke wijze kan je de zelfhulpfilosofie uitdragen?

From self-help books and nootropics, to self-tracking and home health tests, to the tinkering with technology and biological particles - biohacking brings biology, medicine, and the material foundation of life into the sphere of »do-it-yourself«. This trend has the potential to fundamentally change people's relationship with their bodies and biology but it also creates new cultural narratives of responsibility, authority, and differentiation. Covering a broad range of examples, this book explores practices and representations of biohacking in popular culture, discussing their ambiguous position between empowerment and requirement, promise and prescription.

This open access book addresses self-care on sexual and reproductive health and rights and HIV prevention and treatment in the most marginalized and vulnerable communities. Case studies and personal narratives are used to share their perspectives and experiences, sources of information for self-care products, motivations for self-care, and challenges and outcomes. Self-care provides the way to reach the last mile in achieving universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals. Issues related to stigma, discrimination and violence among these communities are highlighted. Changes in policies and programs to improve their sexual and reproductive health, education and employment are discussed. The last chapter in the book examines how the agenda on self-care can be advanced in the years ahead. The audience for this publication includes health professionals, researchers, those managing health institutions and service providers.
