Cooking for Health and Disease Prevention From the Kitchen to the Clinic

Cooking for Health and Disease Prevention From the Kitchen to the Clinic

Poor diet and substandard nutrition are underlying causes of many diseases including cardiovascular disease diabetes and cancer. Collectively these ailments are the leading causes of premature death most of which are preventable. Cooking for Health and Disease Prevention: From the Kitchen to the Clinic helps demonstrate cooking as a fundamental bridge between ideal nutrition and long-term health. Clinicians patients and the public often lack adequate knowledge to help select and prepare foods for optimal disease management. This book provides information to clinicians and their patients about foods and cooking principles to help prevent common health conditions. Features: Focuses on disease endpoints reviewing the disease biology and epidemiology and presenting dietary interventions for disease prevention. Provides recommendations for translating dietary and culinary principles of health prevention into clinical practice and includes a recipe appendix with practical examples. Features information on healthy cooking techniques as well as food selection storage and preparation to help maximize nutritional value. Introduces the reader to fundamental concepts in nutrition and culinary principles explaining the relationship between food processing and food preparation and nutritional quality of foods. This book is accessible to patients and offers evidence-based practical interventions for healthcare professionals.

The Gamer's Brain How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design

The Gamer's Brain How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design

Making a successful video game is hard. Even games that are well-received at launch may fail to engage players in the long term due to issues with the user experience (UX) that they are delivering. That’s why makers of successful video games like Fortnite and Assassin’s Creed invest both time and money perfecting their UX strategy. These top video game creators know that a bad user experience can ruin the prospects for any game regardless of its budget scope or ambition. The game UX accounts for the whole experience players have with a video game from first hearing about it to navigating menus and progressing in the game. UX as a discipline offers guidelines to assist developers in creating the optimal experience they want to deliver including shipping higher quality games (whether indie triple-A or serious games) and meeting business goals - all while staying true to design vision and artistic intent. At its core UX is about understanding the gamer’s brain: understanding human capabilities and limitations to anticipate how a game will be perceived the emotions it will elicit how players will interact with it and how engaging the experience will be. This book is designed to equip readers of all levels from student to professional with cognitive science knowledge and user experience guidelines and methodologies. These insights will help readers identify the ingredients for successful and engaging video games empowering them to develop their own unique game recipe more efficiently while providing a better experience for their audience. The Gamer's Brain: How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design Is written by Celia Hodent - a UX expert with a PhD in psychology who has been working in the entertainment industry for over 10 years including at prominent companies such as Epic Games (Fortnite) Ubisoft and LucasArts. Major themes explored in this book: Provides an overview of how the brain learns and processes information by distilling research findings from cognitive science and psychology research in a very accessible way. Topics covered include: neuromyths perception memory attention motivation emotion and learning. Includes numerous examples from released games of how scientific knowledge translates into game design and how to use a UX framework in game development. Describes how UX can guide developers to improve the usability and the level of engagement a game provides to its target audience by using cognitive psychology knowledge implementing human-computer interaction principles and applying the scientific method (user research). Provides a practical definition of UX specifically applied to games with a unique framework. Defines the most relevant pillars for good usability (ease of use) and good engage-ability (the ability of the game to be fun and engaging) translated into a practical checklist. Covers design thinking game user research game analytics and UX strategy at both a project and studio level. This book is a practical tool that any professional game developer or student can use right away and includes the most complete overview of UX in games existing today. | The Gamer's Brain How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design

Cooking as a Chemical Reaction Culinary Science with Experiments

Cooking as a Chemical Reaction Culinary Science with Experiments

With this book students are able to perform experiments and then make observations that they will frequently see in the kitchen and other food preparation and processing areas and learn the science behind these phenomena. The second edition of Cooking as a Chemical Reaction: Culinary Science with Experiments features new chapters on food hygiene and safety kitchen terminology and taste pairing as well as an expanded chapter on the role of food additives in culinary transformations. The text uses experiments and experiences from the kitchen and other food preparation areas rather than theory as the basic means of explaining the scientific facts and principles behind food preparation and food processing. It engages students in their own learning process. This textbook is designed so that students can first perform certain experiments and record their observations in tables provided in the book. The book then explains the science behind their observations. Features: Experiments and recipes form the basic means of teaching culinary chemistry Features new chapters on food hygiene and safety kitchen terminology and taste pairing Employs real kitchen practices to explain the subjects Covers traditional food chemistry including water in culinary transformations protein carbohydrates fats sensorial properties Many concepts throughout the book are marked with a symbol that indicates the concept is one that they will come across frequently not just in this text but in the kitchen and other food preparation and processing areas. A second symbol precedes the scientific explanation of the observation made during the experiments in the chapter. At the end of each chapter students are presented with important points to remember more ideas to try and study questions to reinforce concepts that were presented in the chapter. The book is designed for each chapter to be read and studied in chronological order as the concepts of each chapter will reoccur in subsequent chapters. Written at the undergraduate level this book is designed for students in culinary arts nutrition dietetics food science and technology and gastronomy programs. It is intended for students with limited scientific background who are studying different aspects of food preparation and processing. | Cooking as a Chemical Reaction Culinary Science with Experiments
