Part 2 highlights the use of food products, bioactive additives, micronutrients, and phytotherapyforprevention of diseases. Many studies demonstrated positive effect of omega-3 PUFA, stanols, sterols, and esterified pargarines, soluble cellulose, controlled alcohol consumption, tea, Mg-enriched dietetic factors, folic acid combined with vitamins B6 and B12 on subjects with the initially enhanced homocysteine level. Garlic is known to reduce blood lipids, hawthorn may be useful at early stages of cardiac insufficiency, ginkgo biloba in arterial and cerebral disorders, horse chestnut for the treatment of peripheral vascular pathology. Results of controlled studies indicate that the use of many foods for prevention of different diseases is currently based on recommendations of individual doctors and needs to be substantiated by evidence-based practice. Physicians treating and educating patients must be well aware of alternative and supplemental therapeutic modalities with the use of foodstuffs, bioactive additives, micronutrients, and phytotherapy.
第二部分重点介绍了食品、生物活性添加剂、微量营养素和植物疗法在疾病预防中的应用。许多研究表明，ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸、植物甾醇、甾醇和酯化甾醇、可溶性纤维素、适量饮酒、茶、富含镁的饮食因素、叶酸与维生素B6和B12联合使用，对初始同型半胱氨酸水平升高的受试者有积极作用。众所周知，大蒜可降低血脂，山楂在心脏功能不全的早期阶段可能有用，银杏叶对动脉和脑部疾病有益，七叶树可用于治疗周围血管病变。对照研究结果表明，目前许多用于预防不同疾病的食物使用是基于个别医生的建议，需要有循证医学实践的证据支持。治疗和教育患者的医生必须充分了解使用食品、生物活性添加剂、微量营养素和植物疗法的替代和补充治疗方式。
