En este libro, se pretende analizar, atendiendo a un análisis multifocal, la Obesidad, sin olvidar la historia que nos envuelve, con sus periodos de escasez alimentaria, hasta la más absoluta abundancia. No se propone la defensa de dietas milagrosas, ni similares; puesto que se aboga por una alternativa higiénico-dietética, en la cual se combine un cambio en el estilo de vida que incluya una dieta más sana y menos procesada, variada y equilibrada, y donde la alimentación no se convierta en monótona o aburrida. El máximo objetivo de esta obra es la salud. Cuidar y mantener este estado depende del trabajo de cada día y no de actos aislados o mediante remedios 'cura-todo'. A lo largo de todo el libro, se incide en los hábitos físicos y dietéticos, luchando por conseguir un cambio positivo de la actitud mental. Para ello se ofrecen las pautas que, a lo largo de la experiencias de los autores, se ha confirmado como las mejores para controlar esta epidemia del siglo XXI: la Obesidad.
Los editores han enfrentado con éxito el reto de realizar una revisión completa y coherente del tema ante la cantidad y diversidad de estudios llevados a cabo en los últimos años. El éxito se debe a la gran experiencia profesional en el campo de la obesidad y a la colaboración de un gran número de expertos en los distintos aspectos del área.

En la obra el lector encontrará todos los aspectos de la obesidad, desde la etiopatogenia hasta la fisiopatología y el tratamiento médico o quirúrgico. Asimismo, encontrará otros capítulos poco habituales, como las ...

This unforgettable memoir from a prize-winning poet about growing up undocumented in the United States recounts the sorrows and joys of a family torn apart by draconian policies and chronicles one young man's attempt to build a future in a nation that denies his existence.
