In den aktuellen Diskursen um die Transformation des Ernährungssystems sind Werte omnipräsent. Jedoch werden sie dabei nicht immer ausdrücklich kenntlich gemacht. Häufig kommt es zu Be- und Abwertungen von Handlungen und Denkweisen, teils unter Heranziehung dichotomer Ernährungsnormen. Doch die Transformation bedingt einen konsensuell getragenen Wertewandel, der u. a. über Empathie und Mäßigung Lösungswege ebnet und das Wohlergehen aller adressiert. Dafür sind objektive Beobachtungen ohne normative Direktiven notwendig. Die Intention des vorliegenden Textes war daher die Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedenen Konzeptionen von Werten unterschiedlicher Disziplinen, um Reichweiten und Grenzen verschiedener Auffassungen im Ernährungskontext zu erörtern. Zur Information: Dies ist ein Open-Access-Buch.Der Inhalt Werte im Ernährungskontext Wert von Lebensmitteln, gemessen als Lebensmittelqualität Wertschätzung von Lebensmitteln Bezug verschiedener Konzeptionen von Werten zum Ernährungssystem Die Zielgruppen Akteure des Ernährungssystems Multiplikator*innen  Die AutorinnenKarolin Höhl  arbeitet als promovierte Ökotrophologin im Bereich Esskultur und Genuss in der Gesundheitsförderung und Ernährungsbildung.

It is more important than ever to consider trends in nutrition across the world, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the wide discrepancies in access to healthcare, good nutrition, and health outcomes. The 98th Nestlé Nutrition Institute Workshop was delivered in October 2022 in collaboration with the International Academy of Nutritional Educators and NNedPro Global Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health, and focussed on the personal and research experiences of the speakers. Speakers included international leaders in nutrition throughout the lifespan, with a focus on optimising dietary quality to promote health and wellbeing. Good nutrition is vital in the first 1,000 days of life, particularly for shaping immune responses but this extends through to much later in life, when appropriate nutritional support can help keep vulnerable people out of hospital and living independently at home. The pandemic also made us take stock of the burden of malnutrition, both over and under nutrition, and health inequalities worldwide. This multidisciplinary workshop provided a platform to reflect on, and discuss what we have learned previously, as well as looking forwards to the future of global health and nutrition and considering how innovative digital technologies could be harnessed to progress this field.

What are the mechanisms by which nutrition affects child growth and development? This is the question that this book tries to answer by presenting a comprehensive overview of the latest research on the topic.This publication covers various clinical conditions and diagnoses that involve nutrition and growth in children, based on selected peer-reviewed manuscripts that were published between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023. Each manuscript is briefly summarized and accompanied by editorial comments from experts in the field.The book aims to help healthcare professionals who care for growing children to better understand the complex relationship between nutrition and growth, and to apply the findings to their practice. The book also encourages readers to further explore the literature and to keep up to date on the advances in this fascinating area.

This groundbreaking book encapsulates fresh insights from the 99th Nestlé Nutrition Institute Workshop in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in February 2023, where experts discussed the changes in the nutrition landscape brought about by the challenging times of the pandemia and globalization, including the future trajectories of child nutrition.This book delves into the profound impact of early nutrition on lifelong health and explores the intricate mechanisms of nutrition programming and the important role of human milk. It addresses the critical interplay between nutrition and epigenetic modifications, how this shapes gene expression and long-term health outcomes and emphasizes the importance of the microbiome and its modulators such as HMOs and how they support the development of the immune system in early life.Amidst the still unfolding longer-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors examine the bidirectional relationship between the virus and nutrition, highlighting strategies to mitigate disease severity through optimal nutrition interventions. Additionally, the book tackles the rising prevalence of food allergies, and discusses how the shift in guidelines on food allergy prevention supports the early introduction of allergens rather than avoidance as well as dietary patterns and current diets' roles in reducing the risk of certain non-communicable diseases.The book heralds a new era in pediatric nutrition - one that embraces personalized nutrition interventions, the transformative potential of digital health, and the principles of sustainable nutrition to ensure health-promoting dietary practices. It also explores the burgeoning role of artificial intelligence in identifying new biomarkers and developing predictive models for pediatric health.

"Pediatric oncology specialist Dagmara Beine guides readers through the most difficult scenario a parent will ever face--a child's diagnosis of life-threatening disease--and argues that the greatest tragedy of conventional oncology is its failure to incorporate safe, effective, and potentially life-saving integrative therapies. Beine teaches parents how to effectively incorporate these integrative therapies alongside conventional oncology, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Beine's approach is grounded in the metabolic approach to cancer--pioneered by the work of Dr. Nasha Winters--applied to a wildly underserved cancer patient population: children."--

Nutrition is an important environmental factor for the maturation of the human immune system and essential for maintaining immunological homeostasis. Based on this, a variety of food applications with medical claims are being generated by food manufacturers worldwide in order to expand the market potential of products creating interesting linkages with other market segments, such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. However, in addition to the health benefits, active principles of such components often remain unexplored.This book focusses on the specific interactions between food ingredients and the immune system along the entire immune defense response. Starting from the immune barrier, through the innate and adaptive immune response, to active limitation and termination, all major mechanisms of the immune response are addressed and different biochemical, cellular and genetic interactions of components of our diet are discussed. The book presents a wealth of disease patterns for which nutritional factors are relevant and thereby provides indications for potential intervention strategies. In addition, associated food-technological aspects are discussed.  Being the first of its kind, this book provides an overview of the variety of functional food components and their influence on immunological responses. Written in an accessible style, it addresses researchers, health professionals and students with different scientific backgrounds.
