• Sommario/riassunto: This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the role antioxidants play in preventing and managing a variety of diseases and critically examines current research on the effects of nutritional antioxidants on specific disease states. Antioxidants: Nature's Defense Against Disease investigates the complex relationship between oxidative stress and many health disorders, providing essential insights into the role of antioxidants in disease prevention. It investigates how oxidative stress, induced by an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body, leads to the development and progression of maladies ranging from cardiovascular disorders to neurological diseases. The book includes evidence-based ways for harnessing antioxidants from natural sources such as fruits, vegetables, and herbs to reduce the impact of oxidative damage and improve general health. The book presents the most recent scientific advances and clinical findings in antioxidant therapy. It is a comprehensive resource for healthcare professionals and researchers and covers everything from the molecular mechanisms that underpin oxidative stress to the protective benefits of antioxidants against chronic diseases. Through its interdisciplinary approach and practical insights, Antioxidants: Nature's Defense Against Disease provides readers with the knowledge and tools they need to optimize antioxidant consumption, empowering them to control their health and lower their risk of severe diseases. Audience The core audiences for this book are nutritionists, dieticians, researchers, and graduate students in health sciences, and those interested in preventive healthcare, such as health, nutrition, fitness, and wellness enthusiasts, looking to deepen their understanding of implementing antioxidant strategies and improving lifestyle choices.
