Diet, Exercise, and Chronic Disease

Exercise and diet are key factors in the etiology and prevention of chronic disease. While most books on chronic disease have a clinical approach, this book brings together the latest cellular- and molecular-based research on the etiology of chronic diseases and the impact of various aspects of diet and exercise on the causal mechanisms. It highlights chronic diseases that are major causes of mortality and morbidity, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease. This book translates molecular-based data into a clinical prescription for the prevention of chronic disease.
