INTRODUCTION (GIỚI THIỆU):

Optimum functioning of the liver and gastrointestinal systems is critical for health. They are critical for the digestion and absorption of nutrients and foods to produce growth. Nutrient and non-nutrients are important modulators of the liver function. The symp-toms related to liver dysfunction include both physical signs and symptoms of abnormal absorption of fat, changes in blood sugar, and altered metabolism. This book provides evidence that foods and their compounds can modify some of these diseases. Expert reviews are provided on liver function as people mature and mechanisms of fatty liver as modified wild and bioactive foods for hepato-protection and digestion. The data supporting actions of bioactive, and especially Chinese foods, to prevent and treat liver diseases are defined by experts. Specific individual foods and herbs have shown specific liver disease benefits including: betal leaf, selected Indian herbs, gooseberries, and curcu-min. Non-botanical materials in reviews show promise, including probiotics. In defining mechanisms including antioxidant capacity of antocyanins, extracts of pomegranate and medicinal plants as well as specifically their carotenoids show benefits in modifying liver function in reviews. Phytochemicals’ involvement in liver and gastrointestinal health is concisely defined.

More diverse information is provided about bioactive foods in the therapy of gastro-intestinal diseases and functions, which are many and important in health. In this book the gastrointestinal focuses on the stomach and intestine. It releases hormones that help reg-ulate the digestive process and is subject to many diseases and problems. An overview reviews functional assessment of gastrointestinal tract function and alkaline in digestive health. Reviews generally define the protective effects of bioactive botanical foods. The human microbiome diseases are defined in a metagenomic approach. Specific classes and types of foods are reviewed for selected gastrointestinal diseases. For example, a chap-ter defines the role of milk bacteria in gastrointestinal allergies. Then selected reviews of prebiotics and probiotics documented their value in irritable bowel syndrome, mucosal immunity, and viral infections. Their lactic acid and its stimulation of folate production are reviewed as mechanisms of probiotic gastrointestinal health. The actions of non-bioactive fiber on bowel health are reviewed. Several additional reviews focus on poly-saccharides from soy sauce and fiber from apples, sources readily available to the public. Dietary fibers and cholelithiasis are shown to be important in lipid lowering. Specific small molecules and defined substances are important in gastrointestinal health. Omega 3 fatty acids are shown to be an interesting story of biotechnology leading to health. One review describes fatty acids in inflammatory bowel diseases. Black plum has a long research history, which is summarized on its phytochemicals in health, as do bioactive polyphenols on other mucosal diseases of the lung. Indian plants have a historical appli-cation to health such as spices in treatment of ulcerative colitis. Ginger and basil are reviewed as an ancient remedy, while another expert gives an overview of medicinal plants in gastrointestinal diseases. Finally not all bioactive materials are safe. Therefore the dangers of herbal weight loss supplements and alcohol on gastrointestinal functions are reviewed. Bioactive foods however, as reviewed, appear to have a role in preventing the epidemic on non-communicable diseases. Clearly bioactive herbs, foods and their extracts can play key roles in liver function and gastrointestinal health.
