Infos

Dietary Polyphenols and Healthy Aging: From Basic Science to Translational Research provides a thorough overview of the role of dietary polyphenols as agents to reduce functional decline associated with aging. Polyphenols have an ability to influence some of the common denominators of aging, such as telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, and mitochondrial dysfunction. In addition, the book discusses the clinical and epidemiological evidence that indicates the consumption of polyphenols may improve a number of health-related variables in older adults.

This book will be a valuable resource for geriatricians, gerontologist and members of nutrition field who are interested in how polyphenols can help to extend the healthy period of life and delay the onset of chronic diseases.
