While diet has long been recognized as having potential to alleviate symptoms of inflammatory diseases including arthritis, lupus and fibromyalgia, research indicates that specific foods offer particular benefits in preventing or mitigating specific symptoms. Bioactive Food as Dietary Interventions for Arthritis and Inflammatory Diseases is the only available resource focused on exploring the latest advances in bioactive food research written for the scientist or professional audience. The only single-volume resource for scientists and professionals seeking information on how bioactive foods may assist in the treatment of inflammatory diseaseIncludes coverage of probiotics, prebiotics, and polyphenolsConvenient, efficient and effective source that allows reader to identify potential uses of compounds - or indicate those compounds whose use may in fact be of little or no health benefitDocuments foods that can affect inflammatory disease and ways the associated information could be used to understand other diseases, which share common etiological pathways INDICE: ANTIOXIDANT FLAVONOIDS FOR ARTHRITIS TREATMENT: HUMANS AND ANIMAL MODELS Inflammation in Arthritis Nutritional Influences on Bone Health and Overview of Methods Skeletal Effects of Plant Products Other than Soy Curcumin and joint health: from traditional knowledge to clinical validation Dried Plum and Bone Health Inflammation as repair deficit in arthritis Marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and rheumatoid arthritis Diet modulated inflammation in health : An overview chapter Food Supplements and Immune Function in Humans Natural Antioxidants and resistance to Infection The effects of flavonoids on the immune system Wheat allergy Tomato Food Allergy Indian medicinal plants as immunomodulators: Scientific validation of the ethnomedicinal beliefs Probiotics and eczema Immunomodulating effect of polysaccharide BIOACTIVE FOODS, NUTRIENTS AND HERBS IN INFECTIOUS DISEASES Probiotics and Prebiotics: Health promotion by immune modulation in elderly Vit D Binding Protein: Role in osteoporosis Anti-inflammatory natural foods Lycopene modulation of Inflammation: Role in disease pathology Fruit and Vegetables as Functional Foods for Exercise and Inflammation Inflammation and Nutraceutical Modulation Modulatory Role of Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Immune Defense against Microorganisms Probiotics and prebiotics in immune modulation The role of dark chocolate on inflammation: a bitter taste for a better life Polyphenols and Inflammation Fish Oil and C-Reactive Protein Pycnogenol anti-oxidant Activity and health promotion Anti-inflammatory Benefits of Pentacyclic Triterpenes Polyphenols, Promising Therapeutics for Inflammatory Diseases?
