This new volume explains in detail the properties of micronutrients
and macronutrients and their diverse uses as nutraceuticals for their
beneficial properties, such as their antioxidant activity and
immunity-boosting properties and how they can be incorporated into the
human diet for optimum health, for growing beneficial bacteria in the
gut, and inhibition of pathogens. Interestingly, the authors look at how
disease-promoting habits often unfold in childhood, even prenatally,
and employing nutrigenomics early on goes a long way toward curbing
these chronic diseases later on in life.
With the advent of
increasing drug costs and escalating antimicrobial resistance, the
pharmacological and antibiotic-like effects of naturally derived
nutraceuticals are worth exploring. This volume provides important
information toward that goal that will be valuable for researchers,
faculty, and graduate students in medical microbiology, pharmacy,
chemical engineering, and medical informatics.
