Polyphenols and Aging

Meaning

Polyphenols and aging describes the clinical and biochemical relationship between dietary polyphenolic compounds and the molecular processes that drive biological senescence and age-related decline. Polyphenols, which are natural compounds found in plant-based foods, are studied for their potential to modulate key longevity pathways, including sirtuin activation and oxidative stress reduction. This relationship is a critical area of nutritional endocrinology, focusing on how diet can influence the hormonal and metabolic factors of healthspan.
