Abstract

During the last decades, in industrialized countries was observed a significant increase in average life expectancy with a gradual aging of the population. The prolonged life expectancy, lifestyle and improper eating behaviors have contributed to increase the incidence of illnesses, often resulting of well-being, such as obesity, dysmetabolism, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, which contribute heavily to both quality of life of those affected and significant increase in social costs.
