Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The burden of hepatic and cardiovascular disorders significantly impacts the health and economy sectors in both developed and developing countries. Appropriate diets and lifestyle can play a significant role in preventing and/or treating such disorders. Modern functional foods and nutraceuticals—which have been developed based on hundreds or even thousands of years of experience with traditional medicine—have successfully provided many food and food-derived products with proven health benefits. Over the past few decades, health professionals and cardiovascular patients have witnessed health benefits, cost effectiveness, and high consumer compliance for functional foods and nutraceuticals. This has resulted in an ever-increasing demand for such safe, effective, and inexpensive products.
Therefore, one of the main objectives of this Special Issue of Foods is to provide the scientific community with the latest advances in the development of new functional foods and nutraceuticals to prevent and/or treat hepatic and cardiovascular disorders. The Guest Editors of this Special Issue are inviting experts in this field to submit their work. This includes contributions from investigators in the areas of food science and technology, nutrition and dietetics, medicine, and related disciplines. All published materials in this Special Issue of Foods will go through a rigorous peer review process. Our goal is for this publication to serve as a significant advancement in this field, which shall facilitate improvements in the quality of life not only for liver and cardiovascular researchers but also for the general population, along with measurable reductions in economic burdens associated with hepatic and cardiovascular disorders worldwide.
