Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Fluoride

Author: Institute of Medicin

Since 1941, with the publication of the first edition of Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs), the Food and Nutrition Board has been recognized as one of the most authoritative sources of information on quantitative recommendations for nutrient intakes for healthy people.. "This volume of Dietary Reference Intakes includes calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D, and fluoride.. "For each nutrient evaluated, the book presents what is known about how the nutrient functions in the human body, what the best method is to determine its requirement, which factors (caffeine or exercise, for example) may affect how it works, and how the nutrient may be related to chronic disease or developmental abnormalities.. "Based on analysis of nutrient metabolism in humans and data on intakes in U.S. and Canadian populations, recommended intakes for each age group - from the first days of life through childhood, sexual maturity, midlife, and the later years - are proposed. The book also identifies a new reference intake, the UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level), which if consumed consistently, may result in adverse effects.

Understanding Your Moods When Youre Expecting or The Origins of Human Diet and Medicine

Understanding Your Moods When You're Expecting: Emontions, Mental Health, and Happiness -- Before, During, and After Pregnancy

Author: Lucy J Puryear

A nationally recognized expert on women's reproductive mental health offers the first book to reveal the full range of emotional experience for pregnant women

Lucy Puryear is a practicing psychiatrist and a pioneering expert in women's emotional health before, during, and after pregnancy. Through engaging personal stories reflecting her own practice, she illuminates the little-discussed feelings that are virtually universal for pregnant women. She shows just how normal it is to fear loss of control, to mourn what you assume is an irretrievable career, or to worry that you'll be the world's worst mother. She explains exactly what is happening to your hormonal system -- and why knowledge is power when it comes to the overwhelming hormonal floods that accompany pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Understanding Your Moods When You're Expecting includes reassuring expert advice on:

how to make a birthing plan for emotional well-being

how and why to get essential rest

real-life bonding with your baby

reducing the risk of postpartum depression

eating disorders and OCD

how to make decisions about necessary medications during pregnancy

This book is as essential to a woman's emotional health during pregnancy as What to Expect When You're Expecting is to her physical health.

Publishers Weekly

Puryear, a psychiatrist specializing in women's reproductive mental health and director of the Baylor Psychiatry Clinic at Baylor College of Medicine, notes that pregnancy and motherhood are hard work both physically and psychologically. Yet, the author points out, most obstetricians and gynecologists have no training in psychological disorders, and women are often left to attend to their emotional issues without support. Puryear offers an informative resource that takes women from before conception to postpartum, drawing on her own practice and personal wisdom as the mother of four as well as current research. With pregnancy comes a surge in hormones that can make women feel both physically ill and cognitively foggy, and when the first movements of the fetus are sensed, the impending reality can be overwhelming. The third trimester and postpartum period can also bring problems: worries about being a good mother, ambivalence about the baby, concerns about sex or anxiety about returning to work. Puryear reveals that medication and psychotherapy are both options for mothers in distress, pointing out that there are many medical choices moms can make that won't harm the baby. All women, she argues, need more information and support concerning emotional issues during pregnancy: this is a worthy place to start. (June)

The Origins of Human Diet and Medicine: Chemical Ecology

Author: Timothy Johns

People have always been attracted to foods rich in calories, fat, and protein; yet the biblical admonition that meat be eaten "with bitter herbs" suggests that unpalatable plants play an important role in our diet. So-called primitive peoples show a surprisingly sophisticated understanding of how their bodies interact with plant chemicals, which may allow us to rediscover the origins of diet by retracing the paths of biology and culture. The domestication of the potato serves as the focus of Timothy Johns's interdisciplinary study, which forges a bold synthesis of ethnobotany and chemical ecology. The Aymara of highland Bolivia have long used varieties of potato containing potentially toxic levels of glycoalkaloids, and Johns proposes that such plants can be eaten without harm owing to human genetic modification and cultural manipulation. Drawing on additional fieldwork in Africa, he considers the evolution of the human use of plants, the ways in which humans obtain foods from among the myriad poisonous and unpalatable plants in the environment, and the consequences of this history for understanding the basis of the human diet. A natural corollary to his investigation is the origin of medicine, since the properties of plants that make them unpalatable and toxic are the same properties that make them useful pharmacologically. As our species has adapted to the use of plants, plants have become an essential part of our internal ecology. Recovering the ancient wisdom regarding our interaction with the environment preserves a fundamental part of our human heritage.
