Body RecompositionWydanie 1

Obesity is a global pandemic rising beyond the status of a lifestyle disorder, and its consequences include impaired metabolism, energy disruption, and abdominal fat deposition and storage. Body Recomposition: A Comprehensive and Metabolic Alternative to Weight Loss presents information on body recomposition, which emphasizes the approach of losing fat while gaining muscle. It contains vast research on topics including factors that influence fat accumulation, strategies for weight management, healthy diet and eating patterns, physical exercise, and lifestyle strategies in healthy weight management.

Features:

• Influence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on stored fat accumulation and its treatment
• Harnessing the gut microbial arm in combating obesity
• Roles of leptin, ghrelin, NPY, cortisol, and diverse neurotransmitters in appetite suppression and regulation
• Genetic predisposition and genetic addiction obesity risk assessment and therapies
• Gut–brain axis role in metabolism and body recomposition
• Efficacy of phytochemicals in weight management and roles of drugs and natural supplements in weight management
• Importance of physical exercise and manageable lifestyle factors

Existing commercial weight loss strategies can fail to achieve and maintain sustainable weight loss or enhance greater healthy fat loss. This book provides an improved alternative for dietitians/nutritionists, health practitioners, and clinicians, as well as food and nutrition scientists.
