Nutrition and diet play a crucial role in sustaining good health throughout human lives. Food provides us with essential nutrients involved in many physiological activities and biological processes in the body including growth and development, metabolism, immune function, and overall well-being. Nutrition and Diet in Health: Principles and Applications reviews and discusses the issues related to the roles of nutrition and diet in human health and diseases.The book contains two sections – one section features principles, the other, covers applications. Part I provides information on sustainable use of nutrition and diets in health and diseases; advanced biotechnological approaches to improve nutritional content of food; trace elements in nutrition; drug and nutrient interactions; functional foods and nutraceuticals in health maintenance; and biomarkers of functional foods and nutraceuticals in health maintenance. Part II discusses the significance of nutrition in selected human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, infection, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic co-morbidities. It also discusses optimal nutrition for wellness, fitness, pregnancy, mental health, aging, and longevity.FeaturesMolecular and cellular-based research findings on the principles and applications of nutrition and diet in healthRoles of nutritional agents in the pathogenesis of human diseasesUnderlying mechanisms that govern activities and strategies to prevent pathological conditions using nutritional agentsNutrition and Diet in Health: Principles and Applications is suitable for academia and scientists, enhances knowledge of students in healthcare and areas of biological sciences.

Neurodegenerative illnesses have negative impacts on the central and peripheral nervous system, which, in turn, affect brain health. Sustainable Use of Plants and Their Products in Neurodegenerative Diseases Management addresses the prevalence and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and the roles of phytoconstituents in mitigating the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. It provides a molecular understanding of the pathophysiology underpinning neurodegenerative diseases, the role of herbal/plant products and their phytoconstituents in the treatment of these diseases, and practical strategies to prevent these pathological conditions.FeaturesContains the latest molecular and cellular-based research findings on medicinal plants in brain health and neurodegenerative diseasesExplains practical strategies to prevent neurodegenerative diseases using medicinal plants and their phytoconstituentsSustainable Use of Plants and Their Products in Neurodegenerative Diseases Management opens new research areas for academia and scientists; enhances student knowledge in pharmacognosy, medicine, pharmaceuticals, biomedical and biological sciences, and other related fields of studies; and enables traditional healers and clinicians to make recommendations for their neurological patients.

Tropical plants have long been used in traditional medicine and are increasingly popular today as alternatives to conventional pharmaceuticals. Medicinal Uses and Bioactive Principles of Tropical Plants bridges traditional ethnobotanical knowledge with modern translational medicine. It presents tropical plants as a “living pharmacy” and systematically explains the molecular information contained within them.The book introduces the basic chemistry of plant-derived bioactive compounds and outlines how medicines can be developed from these sources. It shows that successful drug development from medicinal plants requires a broad strategy that combines molecular, biological, phytochemical, and botanical approaches. It then moves to practical applications, covering drug design and discovery, molecular mechanisms of action, and advanced nanoparticle formulations that improve delivery. The therapeutic potential of these compounds is highlighted for complex modern health challenges, including metabolic, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative conditions such as diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease. Given the remarkable abundance and chemical diversity of plant bioactives, both isolated molecules and standardised extracts offer extensive opportunities for new therapeutic leads.As part of the Exploring Medicinal Plants series, the book links systemic therapeutics to the molecular bioactivity of tropical plants, which are described as highly evolved bioreactors. It also addresses key ecological and ethical considerations, including risk assessment and conservation of these invaluable natural resources. Overall, it advocates a balanced approach that advances both discovery and preservation. This title is a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, students, and environmentalists working in biochemistry, pharmacognosy, pharmacology, and drug development.
