The fastest growing demographic in both developed and developing
societies around the world, the elderly bring unique medical and
financial health-care burdens. In response to this phenomenon, a
large and growing body of research is directed toward the science
of healthy aging. A substantial amount of observational data points
to the consumption of a plant-based diet as a factor in lowering
the risk of multiple chronic degenerative age-related diseases. The
6th International Phytochemical Conference, Phytochemicals: Aging
and Health, focused on the particular concerns of nutrition in the
aging population, as well as new aspects of research methodology,
real-world applications, and updates or expansions of previously
introduced topics. Drawn from the illustrious panel of scientists
and researchers who spoke at the conference, Phytochemicals: Aging
and Health begins by highlighting the prevailing theories on aging,
including dietary manipulation and the role of phytochemical
medicinals or supplements in health. Contributions present
state-of-the-art methodologies for polyphenolic analysis,
bioavailability, and metabolism-crucial tools that answer pressing
questions such as "are there age related changes in flavonoid
bioavailability?" The following chapters provide research results
on botanicals and inflammation, green tea formulations and skin
health, and the effects of phytochemicals on vision, brain
function, and cardiovascular disease. The book concludes with
forward-looking discussions on applying nutrient-gene interaction
research findings to individual dietary recommendations, along with
the step-by-step process to commercialize botanical products for
allergy relief. Continuing to introduce the highest-quality,
groundbreaking research, Phytochemicals: Aging and Health provides
pragmatic information for food companies, supplement manufacturers,
and researchers interested in developing functional foods and
nutraceuticals for the aging population.
