Nutrition and Functional Foods for Healthy Aging aims to equip anyone studying geriatric nutrition or working with aging adults with the latest scientific reviews of critical topics. The major objective of this book is to review, in detail, the health problems of the aged and how normal food, lifestyle, or nutritional and dietary supplements can help treat them. Nutrient requirements for optimum health and function of aging physiological systems are often quite distinct from those required for young people. The special nutrition problems of the aged are intensively researched and tested, especially as the elderly become a larger percentage of the population. Many chronic diseases and cancers are found with higher frequency in the aged, and it is also widely known that many elderly people use foods and nutrients well above the recommended daily allowance, which can be detrimental to optimal health. Explains the evidence supporting nutritional interventions relevant to age-related diseases Reviews the macro- and micro-nutrient requirements of aging adults and their variables Describes how alcohol, drugs, and caffeine can impact deficiencies, also exploring functional food and dietary supplements that can be used for prevention and treatment

Les personnes n'ont souvent que peu ou pas de possibilités de s'exprimer. Toutefois, lorsque les mots ne sont plus présents, il demeure possible d'entrer en relation par la communication non verbale. La psychomotricité peut alors s'avérer un excellent recours pour recréer le lien entre la psyché et le soma. -- -- Dans cet ouvrage, c'est la pratique du toucher thérapeutique qui est abordée. Par ses diverses propriétés et son approche globale, elle permet de soutenir l'enveloppe psychocorporelle du sujet âgé. Si le toucher auprès de la population vieillissante est souvent mis à l'écart dans notre société, il demeure une médiation très riche pour le psychomotricien. -- -- À partir d'observations cliniques très fines auprès de patients dans un établissement d'hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes (EPHAD), l'auteur s'interroge sur les médiations psychocorporelles qu'elle peut proposer pour soulager les souffrances physiques et psychiques de ces personnes.
