This book focuses on the nutrients and nutraceuticals that promote
active and healthy ageing - recently defined by the WHO as the
process of development and maintenance of functional capacity that
allows well-being at an advanced stage of life. There has been a
rapid rise in the use of nutritional interventions as well as
specific nutraceuticals in the management of multifactorial aspects
of clinical health outcomes. Written by leading experts this book
comprehensively discusses the various ageing phenotypes and
age-related diseases. It also assesses the nutritional status of
the elderly and the various epidemiological factors that influence
it. It reviews the role of dietary fiber in disease-free and fully
functional ageing. Further, the book explores the benefits of
polyphenols, which are secondary plant metabolites, in protecting
against cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and various
neurodegenerative diseases.
