  • Metabolic Memory

    Past, Present and Future Implications
    • 1st Edition
    • Jeena Gupta
    • English
    Metabolic Memory: Past, Present and Future Implications delves into the emerging concept of metabolic memory, exploring how our body's metabolic processes retain a 'memory' of past experiences and how this impacts our current and future health. Drawing on the latest scientific research this book aims to bridge the gap between complex scientific concepts and their practical implications for everyday health and wellness. Metabolic memory has profound implications for understanding chronic diseases, particularly diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity. Despite its significance, there is a lack of comprehensive resource that make this information accessible to both professionals and the general public. This book fills that gap, providing a detailed yet understandable exploration of how past metabolic states influence present and future health outcomes.

  • The Complete Book of Coronary Artery Disease:
