Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has been known since long that natural and dietary compounds offer protection and affect the pathogenesis of numerous chronic diseases. Recent research evidences suggest that many chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer are impacted by the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Several dietary compounds act as chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents against various forms of cancer. Growing body of scientific literature suggest that regular intake of food derived from natural products play a critical role in the fight against cancer and other chronic diseases. Many reported studies have linked the dietary patterns of individuals with the onset and prevention of many diseases. Therefore, dietary modifications play an important role in preventing or reducing the occurrence of various diseases.
In this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of original research and review articles concerning the role of natural and dietary agents in the prevention of several diseases.
