Psychology of Food Choice

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781845937232

One of the central problems in nutrition is the difficulty of getting people to change their dietary behaviours so as to bring about an improvement in health. What is required is a clearer understanding of the motivations of consumers, barriers to changing diets and how we might have an impact upon dietary behaviour. This book brings together insights from a number of sub-disciplines within psychology and related discplines, in terms of what they can tell us about the influence on human food choice. It is organised into five main sections which cover: models of food choice; biological and learning influences on food choice; societal influences; food choices across the lifespan; and changing dietary behaviour. The contributors are all international leaders in their respective fields and together give an overview of the current understanding of consumer food choice. This book will be of significant interest to those researching nutrition, dietetics and psychology.

Handbook of the Biology of Aging
<i> <p>Handbook of the Biology of Aging, Eighth Edition, </i>provides readers with an update on the rapid progress in the research of aging. It is a comprehensive synthesis and review of the latest and most important advances and themes in modern biogerontology, and focuses on the trend of 'big data' approaches in the biological sciences, presenting new strategies to analyze, interpret, and understand the enormous amounts of information being generated through DNA sequencing, transcriptomic, proteomic, and the metabolomics methodologies applied to aging related problems. </p> <p>The book includes discussions on longevity pathways and interventions that modulate aging, innovative new tools that facilitate systems-level approaches to aging research, the mTOR pathway and its importance in age-related phenotypes, new strategies to pharmacologically modulate the mTOR pathway to delay aging, the importance of sirtuins and the hypoxic response in aging, and how various pathways interact within the context of aging as a complex genetic trait, amongst others. </p>
