Nutrition in the Control of Inflammation

Nutrition in the Control of Inflammation: Emerging Roles for the Microbiome and Epigenome offers a comprehensive overview on how our diet promotes or attenuates inflammation to regulate inflammatory diseases. Broken into five sections, this book presents an introduction to the microbiome and epigenome in nutrition, subsequently covering diet, lifestyle, and the microbiome in the development of inflammatory diseases, nutrition and the epigenome in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, diet, epigenetics, and microbiome. The book also addresses health-disparities in diet, epigenetics and gut microbes. This reference will be of interest to nutrition researchers, nutritionists, and postgraduate students, as well as others working in, studying, and researching related fields.

• 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
• Examines ongoing discussions of socioeconomic status as well as sex, race, and ethnicity in the control of the divergence in microbial and epigenetic differences that contribute to health and disease disparities
