Anti-Aging Effect of Traditional Plant-Based Food: An Overview.
Abstract
Aging is a complex process that involves many physiological mechanisms that gradually impair normal cellular and tissue function and make us more susceptible to diseases and death. It is influenced by intrinsic factors like cellular function and extrinsic factors like pollution and UV radiation. Recent scientific studies show that traditional plant-based foods and supplements can help mitigate the effects of aging. Nutraceuticals, which are dietary supplements with medicinal properties, have gained attention for their ability to prevent chronic and age-related diseases. Antioxidants like flavonoids, carotenoids, ascorbic acid, terpenes, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, minerals, etc. found in plants are key to managing oxidative stress, which is a major cause of aging.

Research summary
The paper discusses the anti-aging effects of traditional plant-based foods and their potential role in mitigating the effects of aging through the management of oxidative stress. This aligns with longevity research as it addresses factors that may influence the aging process rather than merely treating age-related diseases. However, the overview nature of the paper and its focus on traditional foods and supplements suggest that it offers a solid but limited contribution to the field, hence the impact score of 3.
