Nutrition And Dynamic Lung Health

There is a growing body of evidence to support the hypothesized links between nutrition and lung health. Diet and nutrition are increasingly becoming recognized as modifiable contributors in each and every stage of life. Nutritional interventions have great potential in reducing respiratory illness related morbidity and mortality. Nutritive value of the dietary intake appears to be important in management of respiratory health shown through epidemiological and cross-sectional studies and supported by mechanistic studies in animal models. Malnutrition is an underlying cause of approximately half of the fatal acute respiratory tract infections. Nutritional improvement is a keystone of current global efforts to reduce the burden of mortalities and morbidities resulting from acute lower respiratory infections (ALRIs). Not only the acute respiratory infections but also chronic respiratory diseases are interrelated with malnutrition. “Nutrition and Dynamic Lung Health” is an essential book in which the importance of diet and nutrition in maintaining the lung health of newborns & infants childhood & adolescent age group; adults & geriatrics; pregnant & lactating mothers; significance & impacts on lung diseases; nutritional Also available as an e-book deficiency and lung infections; requirements of the macro and N on F ict ion micro nutrients to maintain healthy lungs have been discussed in view of the societal need.
