- Summary:
- "Fruits that are considered to be nutraceuticals are rich in fibre and a great source of important vitamins and minerals. Fruits also include a variety of antioxidants, including flavonoids, which are good for your health. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables can lower a person's risk of diabetes, weight control, gut related diseases, sexual disorders, cancer, inflammation, heart disease, and other diseases. Berries and citrus foods may be particularly effective at preventing illness. Fruits are renowned for being good providers of phytochemicals, which are necessary to fend off degenerative illnesses including cancer and cardiovascular conditions. They have a range of antioxidants that can be used to neutralise reactive oxygen species (ROS). This book's primary goal is to compile scattered data on the nutritional content of various fruits in response to the management and prevention of various diseases"-- Provided by publisher.
