• Description:
  Introduction: Diet plays a crucial role in preserving health and enhancing overall wellness. Dietary phytochemicals are naturally occurring substances found in foods that may be beneficial in preventing chronic conditions. Sirtuins (SIRTs) are part of a group known as class III NAD-dependent histone deacetylases, which are important in key cellular functions. They participate in multiple processes, such as the balance between oxidants and antioxidants, controlling inflammation, insulin sensitivity, fatty acid metabolism, and aging. The involvement of sirtuin activation through the action of phytochemicals contained in natural products has been described as potentially beneficial in many chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we discussed how selected phytochemicals influence the activation of sirtuins and the impact of their intake on the development and progression of chronic illnesses.  Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature analysis was conducted using information found in the PubMed database. The research concerned the relationships between phytochemicals, the activation of sirtuins, and the onset of chronic diseases.  Conclusions: Studies show that activation of sirtuins may have a beneficial effect on the development of chronic diseases and should be the subject of further research. Nutritional interventions based on the use of natural products remain the subject of research, and developments in this field have the potential to bring new solutions in the prevention or treatment of chronic diseases.
