Unleashing the Power of Functional Foods and Novel Bioactives guides readers to understand how the physiological effects of functional foods can optimize health and aid in specific disease outcomes and prevention. The book examines the impact of functional foods on various aspects of health including, but not limited to, cardiovascular, digestive, cognitive, metabolic, bone and joint and ocular. Other sections examine functional foods can boost sports performance and manage inflammation. Finally, the book explores lesser-known bioactives derived from natural compounds and explores their potential health benefits while providing education on sustainable production methods and the safety and toxicity.
