Functional Foods and Cardiovascular Desease
Highlighting the physiological benefits of a host of functional foods, the book examines:
- The pathogenesis of coronary artery disease
- Genetic methods for enhancing bioactives in foods and new techniques for extracting bioactive components for developing functional foods
- Clinical and experimental evidence of the cardiovascular benefits of fish oils and plant oils, particularly flaxseed oil
- The importance of folic acid in homocysteine metabolism and its impact on cardiovascular disease
- Clinical and experimental evidence for the cardiovascular benefits of plant sterols
- The beneficial effects of wine, garlic products, eggs, fiber, cocoa and chocolate, and coffee and tea on cardiovascular health.
While there have been great improvements in treating coronary heart disease through surgery and medications, prevention through diet and exercise should remain an essential priority in maintaining the health of the aging population. Nutritionists, food scientists, and those working in the health industry will find that this book enhances their understanding of the potential role of functional foods in combating cardiovascular disease before more aggressive treatment is needed.
