Dietary Fiber, Polyphenols, Microbiota, Health BenefitsAbstract
As secondary metabolites found in plants, polyphenols have recently gained prominence as important bioactive chemicals that could have profound effects on human health. Polyphenols found in plants can modulate many different physiological pathways through their direct or indirect interactions with biomolecules. Polyphenols have attracted a lot of interest from researchers and doctors because of their structural variety and natural abundance. Afterwards, learning where polyphenols come from in the diet helps shed light on the natural plant-based sources that make them available all over the world. The intricate process from consumption to systemic effects is elucidated, and the conversation continues with the absorption and metabolism of polyphenols in the human body. The review primarily aims to dissect polyphenols' antioxidant activities, drawing attention to their function in preventing oxidative stress and related health problems. Their effects on a wide range of health issues, including hypertension, allergies, ageing, and chronic diseases (such as diabetes and heart attacks), are covered in detail in the analysis. New information about polyphenols' positive effects on a worldwide scale highlights their promise as medicinal and preventative agents. Depending on the phyto-antioxidant content, plant-based product consumption enhances human health and lowers the risk of developing and worsening numerous chronic diseases. Ultimately, our extensive analysis has shed light on the significant health benefits linked to the intake of phyto-antioxidant-rich plant-based foods. This eating style has shown a considerable decrease in the occurrence and worsening of various chronic diseases, supporting its promise as a foundation for improving human health. Despite the fact that most people believe polyphenols' antioxidant properties are responsible for their health benefits, we must not forget that the exact mechanisms of action of certain phenolic compounds are complex and yet not fully known. Addressing this information gap calls for a detailed investigation of polyphenol bioavailability in the hopes that this will lead to a better understanding of their health-promoting properties. Our inquiry has broadened to include the several functions of polyphenols in illness management. We have focused on their possible effects on metabolic syndrome, autoimmune diseases, respiratory health, pregnancy, and maternal health. This detailed analysis of polyphenols in different pathophysiological settings improves our understanding of their multipurpose uses and highlights their promise as therapeutic approaches in several health paradigms.
