Excellent Free Resource: Early Life Nutrition and Lifelong Health E-Book

On March 25, 2009, in Public Health, submitted by Christopher Fisher, PhD

The British Medical Association recently (2009) released a comprehensive, evidenced-based guide to infant and childhood health and nutrition, called “Early Life Nutrition and Lifelong Health.” This is a timely e-book in light of the epidemic of life style diseases that now afflict our youngest citizens. These concerns and trends have been detailed in the previous post, Obesity – #1 Childhood Health Concern In 2008. Early Life Nutrition and Lifelong Health is available as a free e-book, and geared toward healthcare professionals. New or expectant parents may also find this to be a valuable resource. Check the end of this article for a link to download the free ebook as a PDF.

As the title suggests, “Early Life Nutrition and Lifelong Health” documents the role that early nutrition plays in the development of diseases, such as diabetes, osteoporosis, asthma, lung disease, and cancer. A great number of newborn health topics are discussed, such as breastfeeding, infant weight and growth, and maternal diet. The guide also aspires to provide healthcare professionals with trustworthy clinical guidance for interventions and key references based on a synthesis of evidenced-based research, as well as to offer scientific based recommendations for policy makers.
