Produktbeschreibung

Though it was Hippocrates who coined the phrase in the West, physicians in the East have long known that food is medicine and medicine is food. Highlighting traditional functional foods from all over the upper and lower Asian continent as well as the Middle East, this volume looks at their history, functionality, and health benefits; their physiological properties; and the mechanisms of their anti-cancer and anti-aging action. It covers processing technology, storage, and material sources as well as commercial, social, and economic aspects.
