Traditional Foods: Impact on Gut Health delves into the profound influence of traditional foods and dietary interventions on gut health, immune modulation, and disease prevention. This comprehensive book unites ancient culinary wisdom with contemporary scientific advancements, presenting a detailed exploration of traditional food practices, their phytochemical properties, and their profound impact on digestive and overall health.

Drawing from a multidisciplinary perspective, the chapters traverse diverse topics such as the historical and nutritional value of traditional foods, the gut health benefits of millets, phytochemicals and their chemistry, the dynamic interplay of fermented foods and microbiomes, and strategies for food allergy management. Special emphasis is placed on critical health concerns, including gut-associated cancers, liver disorders, leaky gut syndrome, and the emerging roles of biopolymers in cancer treatment.

By integrating state-of-the-art research with historical practices, this volume serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, health professionals, and anyone intrigued by the science of food and health. Real-world case studies, illustrative examples, and cutting-edge insights offer a bridge between cultural heritage and modern medicine, showcasing the transformative power of food as medicine.
