Plant
Bioactives as Natural Panacea Against Age-induced Diseases:
Nutraceuticals and Functional Lead Compounds for Drug Development
presents comprehensive information on the complications of aging and
the bioactive phytochemicals that in specific herbal formulations,
including beverages, can mitigate them. The book extensively describes
the current information on the role of plant bioactive components in
delaying or preventing the aging process and associated complications,
while also covering different strategies and scientific evidence of
possible synergistic effects of these studies, enabling the formulation
of more effective natural drugs to intervene in aging and associated
events.
Chapters cover the broad areas of plant
bioactive compounds in promoting healthy aging and longevity, including
balancing glucose homeostasis, in cognitive impairments, age-related
diseases, food trends and the anti-aging diet in Asia and other regions,
as well as the social and economic impact of dietary patterns in aging
interventions. Written by a team of global experts.
