This presentation consists of different types of foods that can be incorporated in diets to improve the health conditions in diseases -Cancer, Diabetes Mellitus and Cardio vascular diseases.
Nutraceuticals is a broad umbrella term that is used to describe any product derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods.Nutraceutical, a portmanteau of the words “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical”, was coined in 1989 by Stephen L. DeFelice, founder and chairman of the Foundation of Innovation Medicine.[1] The term is applied to products that range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and herbal products, specific diets and processed foods such as cereals, soups, and beverages.

Foods and nutrients play a very important role in normal functioning of the body. They are helpful in maintaining the health of the individual and in reducing the risk of various diseases. Worldwide acceptance of nutraceuticals formed a relation between "nutrition" and "health" and therefore the concept of "Nutraceuticals" was evolved . In recent years, a new diet health paradigm is evolving which places more emphasis on the positive aspects of diet. The new lifestyle adopted by people today has changed the basic food habits of the latter. Consumption of the junk food has increased manifold leading to a number of diseases caused due to improper nutrition. Obesity is now recognized as a global issue. Heart disease continues to be a primary cause of death in most of the developing countries worldwide, followed by cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis and many others. Consumers being frustrated with the expensive, high-tech, disease-treatment approach in the modern medicines are seeking complementary or alternative beneficial products in the form of nutraceuticals.
Nutraceuticals are the emerging class of natural products that makes the line between food and drugs to fade .Nutraceutical is the hybrid of ‘nutrition’ and ‘pharmaceutical’. Nutraceuticals, in broad, are food or part of food playing a significant role in modifying and maintaining normal physiological function that maintains healthy human beings. The principal reasons for the growth of the nutraceutical market worldwide are the current population and the health trends. The food products used as nutraceuticals can be categorized as dietary fibre, prebiotics, probiotics, polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants and other different types of herbal foods.
The nutraceuticals facilitate in combating the key health complications of the century such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, cholesterol etc. In whole, ‘nutraceutical’ has led to the new era of medicine and health, in which the food industry has become a research oriented sector.

Diet is not all about loosing or gaining weight, its therapeutic benefits are often taken lightly by most of us. Planning of a therapeutic diet implies the ability to adopt the principal of normal nutrition to the various regimens for adequacy, correctness, economy and palatability. It requires recognition of the need for dietary supplements such as vitamin and mineral concentrates when the nature of the diet itself imposes severe restrictions, the patient's appetite is poor or absorption and utilization are impaired so that the diet cannot meet the needs of optimum nutrition.
There are several therapeutic benefits of a well balanced diet such as:
•Fuel to perform daily activities
•Nutrients for the body's cells
•Growth and repair of tissue
•Reinforcing the immune system
•Preventing chronic diseases of lifestyle
•Maintaining good mental health
•Ensuring healthy teeth and bones
Nutraceuticals are present in most of the food ingredients with varying concentration
Concentration, time and duration of supply of nutraceuticals influence human health
Manipulating the foods, the concentration of active ingredients can be increased
Diet rich in nutraceuticals along with regular exercise, stress reduction and maintenance of healthy body weight will maximize health and reduce disease risk
“Nutraceutical” is any substance that may be considered as a food or part of food and provides medical or health benefits, encompassing, prevention and treatment of diseases.
It is the combination of two term "Nutrition" and "pharmaceuticals"

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

34. Nutraceuticals in cancer treatment
The leading cause for death of adult is cancer. Treatment of cancer involves expensive and
traumatic use of drugs, surgery and irradiation.
Nutraceuticals have the ability to control and regulate the DNA damaging factors in cancer
cells and DNA transcription in tumours.
They possess numerous therapeutic benefits like anti-obesity, immunity enhancement, natural
antioxidant, cardiovascular, Antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory effects.
The herbal-based dietary supplements (or Nutraceuticals) known to antagonize therapy. The
research says that phytochemical are proven to be the potential to interfere even with the late-
stage cancer and altering the metastatic spread of cancer
34
35. There has been vast growth in the Nutraceutical industries to yield large number
of phytochemicals containing Nutraceuticals with diverse composition and health
claim due to increased application of phytochemicals in cancer care.
Numerous Nutraceuticals have shown to regulate specific tumour suppressor
genes and cancer driving genes.
By utilizing a daily diet of Nutraceuticals specific to the entire possible gene
combinations found in your particular form of cancer we can inhibit the over-
expressed oncogenes unique to that form of cancer.

Challenges of Nutraceuticals in cancer research:
1) Bioavailability: metabolized effectively, high systemic concentrations difficult to achieve
2) Insufficient pre-clinical data to advance combinational multi-agent therapy in clinical setting
3) Lower priority by pharmaceutical industry as they may not be patented

38. Nutraceuticals as antioxidants
Antioxidants are the substances that act on free radicals or their actions. It has been
proven that higher intake of foods/ compounds with antioxidant can reduce various
human mortalities. Some compounds that possess antioxidant activities are onion, garlic,
turmeric, basil, etc.
Antioxidants (nutraceuticals) play a major role in neurodegenerative diseases like
Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.
Major components that possess antioxidant activities are flavonoid polyphenols - green
tea, apples, non-flavonoid polyphenols- turmeric, grapes, phenolic acids or phenolic
diterpenes- rosemary, organ sulfur compounds- broccoli, garlic, etc.
They act by directly scavenging free radicals or increasing endogenous cellular
antioxidant defenses. They act on ROS and RNS. It also prevents the formation of
oxidized LDL.
38
39. In current scenario, there are increased cases of age related degenerative diseases and people are
keener to shift towards better quality of life. Hence, the combination of cosmetics and food
supplements is a new approach used to provide skin care treatment.
It was assumed by Denham Harman in 1950s that aging is a consequence of excessive
production of free radicals. This results to cause damage to human body and even oxidative
damage to DNA. Nutraceuticals useful as anti-aging acts similar as antioxidants. They also affect
the processes that stimulate the production of reactive species; ROS, RON, etc.
Right selection of nutrients plays a vital role in the treatment of various diseases which can be
achieved by proper diet containing intake of food supplements rich in vitamin E, folic acid,
vitamin B12, iron, etc. main food sources includes egg yolk, green leafed vegetables, beans, nuts,
Nutraceuticals as anti-aging
39
40. Obesity is a common chronic disease and a major underline reason for metabolic
syndrome which arises when there is an imbalance between energy intake and
energy expenditure. Some components widely used as nutraceuticals in obesity are
curcumin, bottle guard, black gram, green tea, etc. They secrete leptin and other
cytokines like IL-1, IL-6 that are critically involved in obesity and chronic
inflammation.
They also help in reducing LDL and total cholesterol. Some act by limiting overall
food daily intake. Nutraceuticals have ability to affect weight loss and have huge
Nutraceuticals as anti-obesity
40
41. Diabetes is a metabolic syndrome where a person suffers from high blood glucose.
It is caused due to lack of insulin production or the body cells do not respond
properly to insulin or both. Some nutraceuticals used to treat and prevent diabetes
are Emblica officinalis, fenugreek, green tea, etc. It also includes anti-oxidant
vitamins like vitamin C and E and minerals like magnesium and chromium. They
generally act by affecting insulin sensitivity and also prevent insulin resistance.
Some act by increasing hepatic glycogen concentration and decreasing the
concentration of glycogen phosphorylase and glyconeogenic enzymes
Nutraceuticals as anti-diabetic
41
42. Cardiovascular diseases
The incidence of chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes
and obesity is rapidly increasing.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) refers to group of disorders of the heart and blood
vessels and include hypertension (high blood pressure), coronary heart disease
(heart attack), cerebro vascular disease (stroke), heart failure, peripheral vascular
disease, etc.
Majority of the CVD are preventable and controllable. It was reported that low
intake of fruits and vegetables is associated with a high mortality in cardiovascular
42
43. Nutraceuticals in the form of antioxidants, dietary fibers, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty
acids, vitamins, and minerals are recommended together with physical exercise for
prevention and treatment of CVD.
The polyphenols present in grapes and in wine alter cellular metabolism and signalling,
which is consistent with reducing arterial disease.
Flavonoids are widely distributed in onion, endives, cruciferous vegetables, black
grapes, red wine, grapefruits, apples, cherries and berries.
Flavanoids in plants available as flavones (containing the flavonoid apigenin found in
chamomile); flavanones (hesperidins - citrus fruits; silybin- milk thistle flavonols
(tea:quercetin, kaempferol and rutin grapefruit; rutin buckwheat; ginkgo flavon glycosides
-ginkgo) play a major role in curing the cardiovascular diseases.
43
44. Flavonoids block the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) that raises blood
pressure; by blocking the "suicide" enzyme cyclo oxygenase that breaks down
prosta glandins, they prevent platelet stickiness and hence platelet aggregation.
Flavonoids also protect the vascular system and strengthen the tiny capillaries that
carry oxygen and essential nutrients to all cells. Flavonoids block the enzymes that
produce estrogens, thus reducing the risk of estrogens induced cancers.
44
45. Parkinson's disease
Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that results from nerve damage in certain
regions of the brain causing muscle rigidity, shaking, and difficult walking usually
occurring in mid to late adult life.
Creatine appeared to modify Parkinson’s disease features as measured by a
decline in the clinical signs.
Glutathione to determine its effect on nerve and its power as an antioxidant.
Nutritional supplements have shown some promising results in preliminary
studies, it is important to remember that there is not sufficient scientific data to
recommend them for Parkinson's disease at present.
45
46. Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by abnormally high levels of blood glucose, either due to insufficient
insulin production, or due to its ineffectiveness.
The most common forms of diabetes are type 1diabetes (5%), an autoimmune disorder, and type 2
diabetes (95%), which is associated with obesity.
Lipoic acid is a universal antioxidant, for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. It is possible that lipoic
acid may be more effective as a long-term dietary supplement aimed at the prophylactic protection of
diabetics from complications.
Dietary fibers from psyllium have been used extensively both as pharmacological supplements, food
ingredients, in processed food to aid weight reduction, for glucose control in diabetic patients and to
reduce lipid levels in hyperlipidemia extracts of bitter melon and of cinnamon have the potential to treat
and possibly prevent diabetes. However it has been suggested that Nutraceuticals with meaningful doses
of combinations may substantially prevent and presumably could be marketed legally
46
47. Osteoarthritis (OA), a debilitating joint disorder.
Joint discomfort from OA and other joint disorders may reduce physical activity in individuals
experiencing this condition, resulting in energy imbalance and weight gain.
Increased weight can exacerbate existing problems, through additional stress on joints.
Glucosamine (GLN) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) are widely used to alleviate symptoms of OA.
These nutraceuticals have both nutrient and pharmaceutical properties and seem to regulate gene
expression thus providing a plausible explanation for their anti inflammatory activities.

51. CONCLUSION
Nutraceuticals have been emerged as an alternative to modern medicines and
have proven health benefits. Most dietary supplements are derived from plants
and some from animals. Nutraceuticals has disease prevention capability with
good nutritional value and food ingredients with additional health benefits.
They are widely accepted by all age groups due to their higher quality, purity,
safety and efficacy, promoting health and help to cure diseases. The latest
trend is moved towards nutragenomics and nutraceuticals has led to new era of
medicine and health.
