Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing incidence of osteoporosis and of its complications requires an urgent adaptation of the intervention methods by development of new drugs, but also by lifestyle modification. Nutrition is one of the main factors that contribute to the maintenance of bone mineral density (BMI). It acts on BMI directly by the intake of proteins, vitamins and minerals, but also indirectly by modulation of the intestinal microbiome, oxidative stress and low-grade chronic systemic inflammation. To date, the role of nutritional factors such as phytoestrogen-rich foods,dietary sources of probiotics and prebiotics, vitamins other than vitamin D, tea, coffee, oral nutritional supplements and the role of fasting and intermittent vegan diets has not been fully elucidated.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the study of diet effects on BMI, correlated with those on the intestinal microbiome, oxidative stress and low-grade chronic systemic inflammation. We also aim to highlight the regenerative effects on bone tissue due to metabolic pathway correction by diet, association with natural compounds, physical therapy and environmental factors.
