Overall, assuming that access to food is secured for all people, traditional dietary patterns are considered safe in terms of longevity, healthy ageing, and morbidity. Indeed, healthy diets have been associated with a reduced risk and incidence of chronic degenerative diseases including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, certain types of cancers, and neurodegenerative disorders. In general, healthy dietary habits include a low consumption of refined sugars, red meat, and saturated fats, as well as a high intake of fruit, vegetables, legumes, low-fat dairy products, and healthy lipids (from seafood). As an example, the Mediterranean diet can be considered the archetype of a health-promoting lifestyle by virtue of the phytochemical diversity of its food components.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscFood & societybicsscVerbenaceaeisoprenoidsβ-caryophylleneflavonoidsanthocyaninsantiradical capacityDPPHmaquimurtacalafatearrayánChilean strawberryberriesfunctional foodsMangifera indicamangoUPLCESI-MSpolyphenolsxanthonoidsgallotanninshydroxybenzophenonesmass spectrometryantioxidantantitumoralcorn silkcumintamarindaqueous extractsformpostprandial glycemiapostprandial insulinemiaadvanced glycation end productsanti-glycationglycative stressglyoxalasemethylglyoxalcytokinenutrientsfood compositionAfricanCaribbeanmacronutrientsenergyvitamins and mineralswild Italian Prunus spinosa L. fruitblackthornphenolic compoundsantimicrobialceramideslipidsfunctional foodnutraceuticalstraditional foodMediterranean dietNordic dietoverweightobesitycardiovascular diseasebioactive phytochemicalsResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesFood & societyIriti Marcelloedt1311344Iriti MarcelloothBOOK9910557447003321Health-Promoting Effects of Traditional Foods3030271UNINA
