This document provides an overview of nutraceutical foods and their relation to diseases. It discusses the history and definitions of nutraceuticals, how they are classified based on their natural source or added ingredients. Specific nutraceuticals like probiotics, polyphenols, and spices are described. The document also explores how nutraceuticals can be used as therapeutic agents to treat cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and other conditions by providing health benefits and reducing disease risk.
Genetically modified foods are created through recombinant DNA technology, transferring genetic material between species to produce desired traits like pest or virus resistance. Nutritionally improved GM crops also aim to address nutrient deficiencies. Nutraceuticals are foods with medicinal properties, including terpenes, phytosterols, phenols, and theols found in plants that may prevent diseases. Organic foods are grown without artificial pesticides or fertilizers. Functional foods provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition, such as antioxidants that protect against diseases. Probiotics are live microorganisms that benefit gut health, while prebiotics feed probiotic bacteria. Certain lactic acid bacteria used in food fermentation also promote health.
Every year more than 1.5 million people are affected new cancer cases in US. According to Jaganath (2008), 56.5 million people dead annually due to chronic degenerative disease. 220 million people are affected with diabetes in the world (WHO 2011) and it will be more than 350 million by 2030 (WHO 2003). Total healthcare cost of diabetes is US$5621 per person in developed countries, US$356 in developing countries and $160 in Bangladesh (Islam et al., 2017).
So, what will be our strategy to get rid of this?
Fruits and vegetables are rich sources of a wide range of vital micronutrients, vitamins (provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, and folate), phytochemicals (non - provitamin A carotenoids and polyphenols), and fiber (Amiot and Lairon, 2010 ). These components with a wide range of chemical structures and functionality provide different beneficial effects beyond simple nutrition, resulting in improved health. In general, fruits and vegetables are generally low - energy foods because of a high proportion of nondigestible carbohydrate polymers such as cellulose and pectin and lower levels of proteins and lipids. Thus, fruits and vegetables supplement the high - energy foods in diet and can be seen to provide a balance in the transit of food through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), as well as to aid digestion and subsequent action by the gut microflora in the large intestine. The influence of fruit and vegetable components (prebiotics) in intestinal health, through viscosity modification of foods during their transition through the GIT, immunity modulation, prevention of inflammation, and maintenance of an ideal population of microflora (probiotics) is continuously being unraveled.
This document summarizes 40 foods that are considered "age-erasing superfoods" according to research on their muscle-building, brain-enhancing, wrinkle-erasing, heart-strengthening, bone-protecting, immunity-boosting, and inflammation-fighting properties. It provides a brief overview of the key nutrients and health benefits of foods such as almonds, flaxseeds, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, spinach, rosemary, wild salmon, blueberries, green tea, dark chocolate, tuna, carrots, dried plums, whole grains, red wine, yogurt, avocado, walnuts, turmeric, black beans, apples, Alaskan king crab, pome
This document discusses 40 superfoods that can help reduce the signs of aging. It provides details on 8 foods: almonds, flaxseeds, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, spinach, rosemary, wild salmon, and blueberries. These foods contain antioxidants and other compounds that can boost brain function, reduce inflammation, strengthen heart health, protect skin, enhance immunity, build muscle, and lower cancer and disease risks. Eating these superfoods regularly is recommended for optimal health and aging.

Review article - Nutraceuticals and Functional foods in the management of art...DANIEL AYINE NYAABA, RD
This paper is a review of the evidence supporting the use of nutraceuticals and functional foods in the management of arthritis.Arthritis refers to different joint disease conditions. Arthritis is very prevalent. It is one of the most common chronic diseases and a main cause of disability and work limitations. Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the most widespread and disabling form of joint chronic illness affecting mostly older people. There is no cure for arthritis and palliative care is used to alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by these conditions. Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are mostly used by persons with arthritis to relief pain and discomfort associated with the disease. Most of these drugs however are associated with detrimental and undesirable side effects. This suggests the need for an alternative and reliable form of treatment; although the lack of cure reinforces the need for prevention.
Some nutraceuticals and functional foods have proven effective for managing and/or preventing arthritic complications. The common ones include Glucosamine and/or Chondroitin sulphate, Aflapin and 5-Loxin, S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe), Probiotics, Vitamins and Mineral supplements, some Plant and Animal Extracts, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) among others.
1) Nutraceuticals are foods or fortified foods that provide health benefits for preventing and treating disease. They include things like omega-3 fatty acids from fish, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, and herbs.
2) The main goals of nutraceuticals are to prevent disease through things like antioxidants from vegetables and phytochemicals from fruits and herbs, as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids. They may also help treat conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
3) Nutraceuticals can be traditionally found in whole foods or non-traditionally developed by adding nutrients to foods through fortification or agricultural breeding. They are also commonly available as dietary supplements in forms like
Nutraceuticals provide health benefits and can help prevent cardiovascular disease. Green tea contains antioxidants like epigallocatechin that can lower cholesterol and blood pressure, reducing heart disease risk. Turmeric contains curcumin which improves endothelial function and decreases heart attack risk by 65%. Ginger contains gingerol which has anti-inflammatory effects. These nutraceuticals provide cardiovascular benefits through their antioxidant and other pharmacological properties and can be considered as alternatives to pharmaceuticals.
This document provides an overview of nutraceuticals. It begins with the history and definition of nutraceuticals, explaining they were coined in 1989 to describe nutrients that provide medical benefits. The document then covers classifications of nutraceuticals including vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, herbs and phytochemicals. It discusses the uses and health benefits of specific nutraceuticals. Finally, it outlines the scope and market opportunities for nutraceuticals in areas like joint health, cardiovascular health and cancer prevention.
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

This document discusses phytochemicals, which are compounds found in plants that provide health benefits to humans. It defines phytochemicals and describes some of their main functions, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The document then examines several types of phytochemicals in depth, including carotenoids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and curcuminoids, and discusses their sources and health benefits.
The document discusses several water-soluble vitamins that are important for poultry, including their roles, sources, bioavailability, deficiency symptoms, and antagonists. The vitamins covered are B1, B2, B6, B12, biotin, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin C, and choline. These vitamins act as enzyme cofactors and are essential for metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Deficiencies can lead to reduced growth, poor performance, and health issues.
This document discusses lycopene, a carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables. It provides lycopene's sources, history of research on it, levels of intake in different populations, content in various foods, biological activities including antioxidant effects, and potential health benefits related to reducing risks of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease. The Pennington Nutrition Series publishes research from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center on nutrition, chronic disease prevention, and healthy aging.
This document discusses phytochemicals, which are plant-derived compounds that provide color, flavor and odor to plants and may offer disease protection. It outlines several potential health benefits of phytochemicals such as lowering disease incidence and having antioxidant, hormonal, and anti-bacterial effects. Specific phytochemicals like phenols, flavonoids, resveratrol, catechins and curcumin are examined for their neuroprotective properties and ability to influence cognition and protect against neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. Food sources of various phytochemicals and recommendations to incorporate more fruits and vegetables containing phytochemicals into one's diet are provided.
Colostrum is the first food secreted by mammary glands after giving birth. It contains antibodies, growth factors, cytokines, and other components that provide powerful immune and health benefits. These include strengthening the immune system, slowing the aging process by supporting tissue growth and repair, and influencing metabolic processes like fat burning and blood sugar regulation. IgCo Natural Colostrum contains over 95 immune factors and all essential nutrients, making it a potent supplement for immunity, anti-aging, and whole-body wellness. Thousands of studies have validated its benefits.
Researchers are exploring the effects of diet, exercise, age, psychological stress, and other factors on the immune response, both in animals and in humans. In the meantime, general healthy-living strategies are a good way to start giving your immune system the upper hand. While some people age healthily, the conclusion of many studies is that, compared with younger people, the elderly are more likely to contract infectious diseases and, even more importantly, more likely to die from them. Respiratory infections, influenza, the COVID-19 virus and particularly pneumonia are a leading cause of death in people over 65 worldwide. Scientists have long recognized that people who live in poverty and are malnourished are more vulnerable to infectious diseases. Whether the increased rate of disease is caused by malnutrition's effect on the immune system there is scientific evidence that various micronutrient deficiencies — for example, deficiencies of zinc, selenium, iron, copper, folic acid, and vitamins A, B6, C, E, D3, K, Colostrum and Psyllium Husk Etc. alter immune responses.

Plant based growth promoters in Aquaculture.SadiyaFarooq2
Plant-based growth promoters from various phytochemicals found in herbs, spices, and plants can improve growth performance in aquaculture. These include essential oils, flavonoids, alkaloids, triterpenoids, and phytoandrogens. They act through antioxidant, immune-stimulating, and digestive effects and by enhancing nutrient absorption and assimilation. Properly supplemented diets have shown benefits such as increased weight gain, improved feed efficiency, and better health. Further research is still needed but plant-based growth promoters may help aquaculture become more sustainable.
PHYTOCHEMICALS: APPLICATIONS IN AQUACULTURESadiyaFarooq2
This document summarizes Ms. Sadiya Farooq's credit seminar on the applications of phytochemicals in aquaculture.

culinary Herbs and spices and its anti-carcinogenic propertiesGoutham Matta
This document summarizes a study on the effects of cinnamon extract on melanoma cell proliferation and tumor growth. The study found that cinnamon extract treatment inhibited the growth of various cancer cell lines in vitro in a time-dependent manner. It also significantly inhibited melanoma tumor progression in a mouse model. The anticancer effects of cinnamon extract were found to be mediated through the induction of apoptosis in melanoma cells and the downregulation of NFkB and AP1 transcription factors and their target genes. This suggests that cinnamon extract has potential as an anticancer agent through stimulating apoptosis and inhibiting key oncogenic signaling pathways.

A tsunami is a series of huge waves caused most often by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. When the sea floor suddenly shifts during an earthquake or eruption, it displaces a large amount of water and causes long waves. As the waves approach land, their height increases which can cause extensive damage to coastal areas and communities. Tsunamis commonly occur in locations bordering the Pacific Ocean such as Hawaii, California, Washington, and Oregon as well as around the Mediterranean Sea.

The Qore Defense Organic Mushroom Complex combines six medicinal mushroom varieties known to support immune system activity. Each mushroom has a specific role and they work synergistically for outstanding immune support. The mushrooms are organically grown and include Reishi, Cordyceps, Coriolus, Zhu Ling, Maitake, and Shiitake. The product is designed to support healthy immune function, activate natural killer cells, help maintain health during seasonal changes, and increase energy.
1) Nutraceuticals are foods or food components that provide health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. They range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements, specific diets, and herbal products.
2) There is a slight difference between functional foods and nutraceuticals - functional foods provide nutrients for healthy survival when prepared intelligently, while nutraceuticals aid in disease prevention/treatment.
3) Common types of nutraceuticals include dietary supplements, functional foods, medicinal foods, and pharmafoods. Probiotics, prebiotics, and antioxidants are also considered nutraceuticals.
The document provides an overview of nutraceuticals. It defines nutraceuticals as food or food components that provide health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. Nutraceuticals are classified into nutrients, herbals/phytochemicals, and dietary supplements. Common examples of disease areas that nutraceuticals can benefit include joint health, cardiovascular health, eye health, and cancer prevention. The global nutraceutical market is growing and includes functional foods, functional beverages, and dietary supplements. Some popular marketed nutraceutical products are also mentioned.
This document discusses trace elements and their importance in human health. It defines trace elements as minerals that are required by the body in small amounts but play crucial roles in various physiological functions. The document outlines several key trace elements like iron, zinc, and iodine and their functions. It emphasizes that while trace elements are essential for overall well-being, both deficiency and toxicity can impact health, so it is important to maintain balanced levels through a diverse diet and professional guidance on supplementation if needed.
1. Neutraceuticals are foods or food components that provide health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. They are classified as traditional or non-traditional. Traditional neutraceuticals include nutrients, herbals, phytochemicals, probiotic microorganisms, and nutraceutical enzymes from natural sources. Non-traditional neutraceuticals are artificially developed foods containing fortified or recombinant bioactive components.
2. The global neutraceuticals market is growing significantly. Major players include General Mills, Nestle, and Kellogg. In India, the dietary supplements market value is estimated at 1320 million

This document discusses several medicinal herbs that can boost immunity, which may help in the fight against COVID-19. It describes the immune boosting effects of turmeric, ginger, black pepper, ajwain, and fenugreek seeds. Turmeric contains curcumin, which has been shown to modulate immune cells. Ginger has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties and studies have found benefits for smokers and non-smokers. Black pepper may contain anti-bacterial and immune enhancing properties. Ajwain is suggested to aid digestion and reduce toxicity. Fenugreek has been shown to have a stimulatory effect on immune functions in mice. The document concludes that traditional herbs are potential candidates for immune boosting
Immunomodulators are natural or synthetic substances that help regulate the immune system. They correct immune systems that are out of balance and are recommended for people with autoimmune diseases. Common plants used as immunomodulators include Tinospora cordifolia, Curcuma longa, Azadirachta indica, and Withania somnifera, which have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. These plants act on the immune system by stimulating macrophages and other immune cells, and can boost both the innate and adaptive immune responses.
Genetically modified foods are created through recombinant DNA technology, transferring genetic material between species to produce desired traits like pest or virus resistance. Nutritionally improved GM crops also aim to address nutrient deficiencies. Nutraceuticals are foods with health benefits derived from components like terpenes, phytosterols, phenols, and theols found in plants. Organic foods are produced without artificial fertilizers or pesticides, instead using natural methods. Functional foods provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition from antioxidants and other compounds that may protect against diseases. Probiotics are live microorganisms that benefit health by balancing intestinal microbiota while prebiotics feed probiotic bacteria.
E. Excel's founder Dr. Jau-Fei Chen pioneered the science of Nutritional Immunology, which studies the relationship between nutrition and the immune system. Nutritional Immunology emphasizes consuming natural, wholesome foods to strengthen the immune system and promote prevention over cure. E. Excel's Nutriall product is formulated based on Nutritional Immunology principles, using natural plant foods like soy that provide antioxidants, phytochemicals, and protein to nourish the body and boost immunity.
Tahitian noni fruit contains stable bioactive compounds called iridoids that provide numerous health benefits. Iridoids are powerful phytochemicals that are adaptive and support cardiovascular health, immune function, antioxidant protection, joint health, energy and endurance. Unlike other superfruits, iridoids in noni are remarkably stable and retain their potency even after processing and long storage periods. In contrast, flavonoids and carotenoids in other fruits rapidly degrade with heat and light exposure. Due to their stability and solubility, iridoids are highly bioavailable and deliver their benefits throughout the body. As an adaptogen, noni helps the body maintain balance and health.
Blueberries contain phytochemicals that may provide health benefits. Studies show blueberries have antioxidant and anticancer properties, and consuming blueberries may lower risks of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, and gastrointestinal issues. Regular blueberry consumption is linked to greater benefits than single high doses. Further research is exploring which blueberry compounds are most active against diseases.
Nutraceuticals are foods or food components that provide health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. They can be classified based on food source, mechanism of action, or chemical nature. Traditional nutraceuticals are natural foods containing beneficial components like vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, herbals, and phytochemicals. Non-traditional nutraceuticals are artificially produced using biotechnology and include fortified foods with added nutrients and recombinant foods engineered for wellness benefits. Probiotic microorganisms and nutraceutical enzymes also represent important categories of nutraceuticals.
The document discusses various types of nutraceuticals, including inorganic mineral supplements like calcium, magnesium, and zinc; vitamin supplements; digestive enzymes; dietary fibers; cereals and grains; antioxidants; polyunsaturated fatty acids; health drinks from natural sources like fruits, tea, and soy; and wines. It provides examples and health benefits of each category in 1-3 sentences and covers a wide range of nutraceutical topics over 12 pages.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
