Description
Herbals and their Effects on Human Health provides a comprehensive exploration of the diverse bioactive components found in medicinal plants and their relevance to human health. Divided into three distinct sections, beginning with a thorough examination of bioactive components and their health benefits, readers will discover the intricacies of traditional practices such as Ayurveda, the role of phytotherapy in managing metabolic disorders, and the therapeutic potential of antioxidants in various health contexts, including skin health and cardiovascular disease. The book further enhances its scientific rigor by including light and electron microscopic images that illustrate tissue and organ structures affected by herbal interventions. Subsequent sections focus on bioactive foods, highlighting their therapeutic effects through in-depth discussions on specific herbals and plants such as garlic, curcumin, garcinia kola and blueberries. This section not only examines their protective roles in conditions like chronic inflammation and diabetes but also addresses lesser-known foods and their health-promoting properties. The final section highlights the mechanisms of action of these compounds, examining their impact on biological systems and their neuroprotective effects.
Herbals and their Effects on Human Health is an essential resource for food scientists, physicians, biomedical researchers, pharmacologists, and nutritionists seeking to deepen their understanding of how herbal and bioactive components influence health and wellness.
