Resumo(s)
As doenças crónicas não transmissíveis afetam cada vez mais um número crescente de indivíduos. Entre os principais fatores de risco associados a estas doenças destaca-se a inflamação, o sedentarismo e uma alimentação desequilibrada o que contribui para o aparecimento de doenças crónicas como por exemplo a obesidade, a diabetes e o cancro. Devido aos avanços da investigação científica, hoje em dia sabe-se que os compostos fenólicos têm a capacidade de prevenir o desenvolvimento e progressão das doenças crónicas. Surge assim a ideia de que uma alimentação rica em compostos fenólicos apresenta benefícios na prevenção e tratamento de várias doenças crónicas. Os compostos fenólicos derivam de metabólitos secundários de plantas e estão muito presentes em alimentos como frutas e vegetais. Estes compostos têm tido um enorme destaque devido ás suas propriedades bioativas atuando como substâncias antioxidantes, anti-inflamatórias, anticancerígenas, antimetabólicas, antivirais e anti-bacterianas para além de terem uma atividade cardioprotetora e neuroprotetora essencial no nosso organismo.
Chronic non-communicable diseases are increasingly affecting a growing number of individuals.

Thanks to advances in scientific research, it is now known that phenolic compounds have the ability to prevent the development and progression of chronic diseases. This has led to the idea that a diet rich in phenolic compounds offers benefits in the prevention and treatment of various chronic diseases. Phenolic compounds are derived from secondary metabolites of plants and are abundant in foods such as fruits and vegetables. These compounds have gained significant attention due to their bioactive properties, acting as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimetabolic, antiviral, and antibacterial substances, in addition to having essential cardioprotective and neuroprotective activities in our bodies.
