| dc.description.abstract | Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes are leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide nowadays. Preventive approaches focusing on dietary modifications, particularly the consumption of plant-based foods rich in bioactive compounds like phytochemicals, have shown promise in reducing the risk of these chronic diseases. Phenolics, flavonoids, carotenoids, stilbenes, and phytosterols are among the most studied bioactive compounds, recognized for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative properties. Consuming a diverse range of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which provide these compounds, can enhance overall health, and prevent chronic diseases more effectively than isolated supplements. Epidemiological studies and clinical trials support the health benefits of bioactive compounds, suggesting that a varied diet rich in these natural substances is crucial for long-term health and disease prevention. This review underscores the importance of integrating bioactive compounds into dietary strategies to mitigate the growing burden of chronic diseases. | en_US |
