Aprašymas

This book, The Metabolic Syndrome: Dietary Supplements and Food Ingredients, discusses the physiological factors that contribute to metabolic syndrome within the human body and spotlights the beneficial effects on the body of nutraceuticals and functional ingredients, botanicals and natural dietary supplements, structurally numerous antioxidants, B-vitamins, and diverse amino acids and vital nutrients.

The book considers the need to preserve a balance between energy delivery and strength expenditure that is essential for maintaining an appropriate Body Mass Index (BMI), which can contribute to less obesity and fewer metabolic disorders like diabetes type II, cardiovascular illnesses, etc. The authors present recent research that prove that proper vitamins, including antioxidants, nutrients, micronutrients, and selected amino acids can enhance the body's metabolism, and defend it from inflammatory onslaughts.

The chapters cover the bioactive compounds in metabolic syndrome, natural antioxidants of pharmaceutical importance, preventive measures of type 2 diabetes via nutrition, gut microbiome, and more. Some chapters in the book include information on the pros and cons of caffeine. One chapter highlights the damaging interactions of nutraceuticals and functional foods with generally used prescriptions medicines.
