Culinary medicine represents an emerging trend that harmoniously blends human health with culinary practices, with a primary focus on promoting healthy aging and enhancing health outcomes for individuals grappling with lifestyle-related diseases. In contemporary times, consumers are increasingly dedicated to crafting their unique lifestyles and dietary choices, ones that can adequately meet their nutritional needs. Gastronomy, often referred to as the art of cooking, assumes a pivotal role in the realm of culinary medicine by providing vital nutritional elements through carefully curated diets. A multitude of factors, encompassing both genetic predispositions and external influences like stress, pollution, dietary habits, and physical activity, contribute to the development of various diseases.
A substantial body of literature substantiates the notion that culinary medicine holds the potential to improve various health conditions. Culinary medicine is a progressive approach that treats food as a catalyst for a wholesome life. Consequently, the purpose of our inquiry is to uncover novel culinary trends, exploring ingredient preparation techniques while considering their interconnectedness with sociocultural practices, overall health, disease prevention, and the general well-being of individuals.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
• Emerging trends in gastronomic cuisine
• The impact of technological parameters on bioactive compounds
• The historical evolution of culinary medicine
• Innovative culinary techniques
• Culinary medicine's influence on different diseases, with a focus on both in vivo and in vitro studies
• The role of culinary medicine in proactively averting the onset of specific health conditions
Keywords:
Culinary medicine, Healthy aging, Lifestyle-related diseases, Gastronomy, Dietary Intervention
