Details: Nutrition in the Control of Inflammation: Emerging Roles for the Microbiome and Epigenome is a comprehensive guide that delves into the intricate relationship between diet and inflammation to regulate inflammatory diseases. Divided into five insightful sections, this book provides an introduction to the microbiome and epigenome in nutrition, exploring the impact of diet, lifestyle, and the microbiome on the development of inflammatory diseases. With a focus on nutrition and the epigenome in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, the chapters tackle crucial topics such as histone modifications, DNA methylation, and non-coding RNAs in disease progression. Addressing health disparities in diet, epigenetics, and gut microbes, this book is a valuable resource for nutrition researchers, nutritionists, postgraduate students, and professionals in related fields. From the multifactorial microbial networks shaping aging to practical applications for diet and lifestyle improvements, this book offers practical insights for enhancing microbial and epigenetic health. Discusses the latest topics in the microbiome and nutritional epigenome surrounding the regulation of aging, development, metabolic disease, and heart disease Summarizes our current understanding of nutritional intervention in epigenetic reprogramming and microbial changes in the treatment and prevention of disease Provides practical applications for diet and lifestyle to reduce inflammation and improve overall health
