Abstract

Polyphenols, abundant in plant-based foods, have gained recognition for their potential role in disease prevention. This article explores the multifaceted health benefits of polyphenols, with a focus on cardiovascular health and cancer protection. Epidemiological and experimental evidence supports their cardioprotective effects, including blood pressure reduction, cholesterol modulation, and endothelial function improvement. Moreover, polyphenols exhibit anti-carcinogenic properties through mechanisms such as apoptosis induction, angiogenesis inhibition, and oxidative stress mitigation. Beyond cardiovascular health and cancer protection, polyphenols offer diverse benefits, including modulation of gut microbiota, enhancement of immune function, and mitigation of inflammatory conditions. Incorporating polyphenol-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, tea, and red wine, into the diet is advocated for promoting overall health and disease prevention. Further research is warranted to elucidate the therapeutic potential of polyphenols and optimize dietary recommendations.
