Expanding Horizons of Nutrition is a comprehensive and forward-looking resource that explores the evolving landscape of nutrition and its multifaceted impact on health. Divided into 10 thoughtfully curated sections, this book brings together insights from renowned experts across the fields of nutrition and its allied subspecialties.
The first two sections delve into the dual burden of malnutrition—addressing both undernutrition (including macro and micronutrient deficiencies) and the growing concerns of overweight, obesity, and hidden hunger. The third section is dedicated to the ‘triple pandemic’—the complex interplay between obesity, diabetes, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Subsequent sections focus on emerging domains often overlooked in mainstream discussions. These include the psychosocial dimensions of nutrition, mental health outcomes, immune function, nutrition-related immunodeficiency syndromes, and the groundbreaking science of epigenetics. The book further explores nutrition’s critical role in enhancing performance and sports, unravels complexities of food allergies and respiratory health, and finally, examines the future of nutrition—personalized medicine and the integration of artificial intelligence in health and dietary planning.
