[toc position='left'] Polyphenols comprise a group of antioxidant compounds found in a variety of plants consumed as foods and beverages. Polyphenols are one of the most common classes of bioactive compounds found in plants, along with alkaloids (e.g., berberine (https://www.foundmyfitness.com/topics/berberine)), organosulfur compounds (e.g., sulforaphane), and terpenoids (e.g., beta carotene). A growing body of evidence suggests that polyphenols have disease-fighting properties, although the evidence to support these claims varies in quality. Research has demonstrated some degree of efficacy ... polyphenol brain cancer heart disease green tea gut diet microbiome microbes

Berries are a colorful and nutritious food containing many types of bioactive compounds, including anthocyanins, a type of polyphenol with blue/purple pigment. Anthocyanins from berries such as blueberries, black raspberries, chokeberries, and bilberries are recognized for their ability to protect against cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7504512/). Findings of a recent systematic review provide robust evidence demonstrating the beneficial effects of anthocyanins on cognitive performance and cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Metabolic function and cognitive performance begin to decline as early as the middle-age years – between the ages of 45 and 65 years. Dietary modification might be a useful strategy for improving or even reversing these declines. A recent study demonstrates that consumption of a wild blueberry extract improves metabolic function and cognitive performance in middle-aged adults. Blueberries are rich sources of anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid compound that exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Epidemiological evidence suggests that regular consumption of blueberries reduces a perso... metabolic syndrome memory insulin blood sugar polyphenol cognition

[toc position='right'] Resveratrol is a natural compound found primarily in the skin of red grapes and the root of Polygonum cuspidatum (also known as Japanese knotweed). It is also present to a lesser degree in peanuts and blueberries. Resveratrol protects the plants in which it is present from fungal attack and the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation. Originally extracted in the 1940s, resveratrol attracted little interest in terms of human health until 1992 when research suggested that it could mediate some of the cardioprotective effects of red wine.[ref doi='10.3390/molecules220202... exercise resveratrol alzheimer's metabolism cardiovascular
