Resilience as a valid measure of health and the implications for health benefits of specific foods and food ingredients
In a recent ISAPP blog, scientists explored the concept of ‘resilience’ in the context of human physiology, i.e. the ability to remain healthy even when exposed to a stress, or to recover from a stress faster, and concluded that the recent recognition by EFSA that maintenance of homeostasis is a valid measure of health provides an opportunity to apply this concept to specific foods and food ingredients.
