About this Research Topic
Aging is a natural phenomenon; it is irreversible and occurs due to cellular changes that ultimately lead to death. However, to enhance longevity, more specifically youthfulness, several drugs as well as dietary supplements, including natural supplements are prescribed. In fact, few of them have been a part of the traditional medicines of the orient as well. There are many natural compounds that delay aging, ranging from natural sources such as marine organisms, and microorganisms to herbs and plants.
The current Research Topic aims to explore the various nutritional interventions to slow down the aging process, promote healthy aging, and reduce the occurrence of age-related diseases. This includes examining the impact of specific nutrients, dietary patterns, and lifestyle factors on various aspects of aging such as cellular senescence, oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial function. The main aim is to identify effective nutritional interventions that can help overall health and well-being in aged populations and enhance health span and lifespan. Furthermore, this topic includes the impact of various types of antiaging food, plant-based food, phytochemicals, antioxidants, probiotics, and prebiotics on the aging process. Through this topic, we will also try to find out the impact of nutraceuticals, functional foods, and specialty foods on the aging process and their role in various aspects of aging.
We welcome articles that cover the following (but not limited to) topics:
•Impact of personalized nutrition on aging
•Impact of dietary components on mechanisms underlying the aging process such as oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence
•Role of nutrition in promoting healthy aging
•Function of nutrients in preventing age-related disease
•Combined effect of nutritional and other lifestyle factors such as physical activity, stress management, adequate sleep, and social engagement to optimize health outcomes and promote successful aging
•Recent research and innovations in the field of nutritional science, including the use of nutraceuticals, functional foods, dietary supplements, and novel dietary interventions (e.g., intermittent fasting, calorie restriction) in promoting healthy aging and extending lifespan
