For example, which are good for cardiac care? Which can help combat and treat asthma? What are the safety concerns to be aware of when using herbs in combination with traditional medicines? Diet and nutrition are vital keys to controlling or promoting morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases, and the multitude of biomolecules in dietary fruits and vegetables play a crucial role in health maintenance. They may, therefore, be more effective and certainly could have different actions beyond nutrients however this science is still evolving. This book brings together experts working on the different aspects of supplementation, foods, and plant extracts, in health promotion and disease prevention. Their expertise and experience provide the most current knowledge to promote future research. Dietary habits need to be altered, for most people and the conclusions and recommendations from the various chapters in this book will provide a basis for that change. The overall goal of this book is to provide the most current, concise, scientific appraisal of the efficacy of key foods and constituents medicines in dietary plants in preventing disease and improving the quality of life. While vegetables have traditionally been seen to be good sources of vitamins, the roles of other constituents have only recently become more widely recognized. This book reviews and often presents new hypotheses and conclusions on the effects of different bioactive components of the diet, derived particularly from vegetables, to prevent disease and improve the health of various populations. * Identify bioactive fruit and vegetable options for prevention or treatment of illness * Moves from general overview to disease specific applications providing a framework for further research and deeper understanding * Includes discussion of issues and challenges, permitting critical analysis and evaluation. 606 $aFunctional foods 606 $aVegetables in human nutrition 606 $aFruit in human nutrition 606 $aFruit 606 $aVegetables 606 $aHealth promotion 606 $aDiet theapy 606 $aNutrition 606 $aFruit 606 $aVegetables 606 $aDiet Therapy 606 $aHealth Promotion 606 $aNeoplasms$xprevention & control 606 $aNutrition Therapy 606 $aNutritional Physiological Phenomena 615 0$aFunctional foods. 615 0$aVegetables in human nutrition. 615 0$aFruit in human nutrition. 615 0$aFruit. 615 0$aVegetables. 615 0$aHealth promotion. 615 0$aDiet theapy. 615 0$aNutrition. 615 12$aFruit. 615 12$aVegetables. 615 2$aDiet Therapy. 615 22$aHealth Promotion. 615 22$aNeoplasms$xprevention & control. 615 22$aNutrition Therapy. 615 22$aNutritional Physiological Phenomena. 676 $a613.28 701 $aWatson$b Ronald R$g(Ronald Ross)$0872276 701 $aPreedy$b Victor R$0858423 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969359203321 996 $aBioactive foods in promoting health$94375873 997 $aUNINA
