Bioactive Compounds and their Impact on Aging

Abstract

Aging is a complex biological process influenced by various factors, including genetics, environmental exposures, and lifestyle choices. As we age, our bodies undergo numerous physiological changes that often lead to a decline in functional capacity and the onset of age-related diseases. One area of growing interest in the scientific community is the potential role of bioactive compounds in mitigating the negative effects of aging. Bioactive compounds, which are naturally occurring chemicals found in foods, plants, and other natural sources, have been shown to have beneficial effects on human health. These compounds are capable of influencing cellular functions, modulating biological pathways, and reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular damage, all of which are closely associated with the aging process.
