This article discusses the potential benefits of polyphenols in reducing age-related diseases, specifically focusing on their neuroprotective effects in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Studies show that some polyphenols play a role in maintaining neuronal homeostasis and improving cognitive function. However, inconsistencies in study design and interindividual variability impact their effectiveness. Pomegranate is highlighted as a promising treatment option, but further human clinical trials are needed.
