This text provides a comprehensive review of the latest research on
the effects of dietary patterns and whole plant foods on general
health, aging, and cardiometabolic disease risk from major
prospective cohort studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs)
and their meta-analyses. The book extensively assesses, the effects
of lifestyle, dietary patterns, and specific whole plant foods on
the quality of aging; the impact of fiber-rich foods on colonic
microbiotia and weight regulation, the effects of which influence
the quality of aging; the effects of fiber-rich diets on the aging
gastrointestinal tract; and the role of dietary patterns and
specific whole plant foods on coronary heart disease, hypertension,
chronic kidney disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Figures are
extensively used to highlight findings and tables summarizing food
composition dietary patterns and whole plant foods. Tables
summarizing meta-analyses and representative cohort studies and
RCTs provide state-of-the-art coverage of the important effect of
dietary patterns and whole plant foods on aging and cardiometabolic
diseases. Dietary Patterns and Whole Plant Foods in Aging and
Disease will serve as a very useful, state -of -the-art resource
for dietitians, physicians, nurses, food industry scientists,
researchers, naturopathic doctors, educators and their students
interested in the role of dietary patterns and specific whole plant
foods on aging and disease. The probability of healthy aging and
disease prevention is significantly improved by 70% when
individuals and populations follow a healthy lifestyle. Healthy
lifestyle choices include adhering to a healthy dietary pattern,
increasing physical activity most days of the week, achieving and
maintaining lean body weight and waist size, and the cessation of
smoking. It is estimated that 90% or more of those in westernized
populations are on track for unhealthy aging and increased
cardiometabolic disease risk, especially with the obesity pandemic
associated with relatively poor diet quality and sedentary
lifestyles. Healthy dietary patterns significantly lower risk of
all-cause mortality and chronic disease incidence compared to
Western dietary patterns. Since healthy whole and minimally
processed plant foods vary widely in their nutrient and
phytochemical compositions, their overall benefit in aging and
disease may vary depending on the specific whole plant foods
consumed.
