“…According to World Health Statistics reports, these diseases and disorders affect millions of people globally, and their incidence rates are expected to continue to increase rapidly for the following years. Currently, no effective therapy has still been revealed to fight cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, and thus dietary plants and their natural bioactive compounds offer extremely great opportunities for development effective treatment strategies (Newman and Cragg, 2016;Gezici, 2019a;Gezici and Sekeroglu, 2019a;WHO, 2019). Dietary medicinal plants (fruits, vegetables, spices, cereals, and edible tubers/roots) containing natural bioactive compounds such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, stilbenes, curcuminoids, resveratrol, lycopene, carotenoids, quercetin, catechin, naringenin, organosulfur, curcumin, genistein, isothiocyanates, capsaicin, gingerol, anthocyanins, coumarins, lignans, quinones, and others have been demonstrated to possess valuable health benefits beside basic nutrition (Das and Gezici, 2018;Guizani et al, 2018;Roy et al, 2018,).…”
