WHAT ARE NUTRACEUTICALS
Nutraceuticals or functional foods are any food or food ingredients that may provide beneficial health effects beyond the traditional nutrients they contain. Nutraceuticals are also known as medical food, nutritional supplements, and dietary supplements. Nutraceuticals range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements, genetically engineered “designer” foods, herbal products, and processed products such as cereals and soups. Functional foods are “foods or dietary components that may provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition”.
Regular and plentiful consumption of fruits and vegetables as well as marine foods have been evidenced to be beneficial for human health and in the prevention of diseases. An aging population and general health trends are factors which have influenced the growth of the nutraceuticals and functional food market. Globally, average life expectancy has been on the rise. Sedentary lifestyles along with the stress and pollution in day to day life are the major reasons for the enhancement of free radical generation in our body. Reactive oxygen species and free radicals fasten the aging process, and can only be mitigated through the action of antioxidants. Further, as we age, the efficiency to remove these free radicals by the antioxidant defense systems in our body decreases. Consumption of antioxidant rich foods (fruits, vegetables, etc.) balance the free radical and antioxidant status and, thus, reduces the oxidative stress in our body. Not getting enough nutrients can lead to oxidative stress which can then lead to other health issues.
Research in nutrition is constantly developing with new discoveries and innovative technologies. One such advancement that bridges the gap between nutrition and medicine is nutraceuticals.
Nutraceuticals can improve health, delay the aging process, prevent chronic diseases, increase life expectancy, or support the structure and functioning of the body. They are also used in the prevention and treatment of mental health issues and disorders.
Nutrients are the chemical elements that make up food. Nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats provide energy while other nutrients like vitamins, water, electrolytes, and minerals are needed for a healthy metabolism.
Nutraceuticals that fall under the umbrella of dietary supplements not only supplement diet but also promote health and prevent disease. These supplements can contain one or more of the following: amino acids, vitamins, herbs or other botanicals, minerals, important metabolites, and certain enzymes.
Nutraceuticals like lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, and vitamin E reduce the risk of cataracts. Essential fatty acids like omega-3s are important for visual development and retinal function. Most of the fruits contain polyphenolic components that can promote antioxidant potential on human health. Additionally, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal and chemopreventive effects are associated with the various fruits. Besides polyphenols, other compounds such as xanthones, carotenoids, saponins also exhibit health effects.
USE OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AS NUTRACEUTICALS
The fruits are the cheapest and most common store of nutrients viz., carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids. Fruit vary in their composition and variety of colorful fruits and vegetables gives your body a wide range of nutrients/phytochemicals that are important for good health. Fruits consumed in our daily diet is associated with reduced risk of cancers and additive/ synergistic effects of phytochemicals in fruits are responsible for their potent antioxidant and anticancer activities.
Fruits and vegetables are a rich source of a multitude of nutraceuticals and other bioactive natural products. Such value-added products not only provide essential nutrients but also enhance the ability of the body to fight, cure and prevent diseases through anti-oxidant, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-proliferative and other properties. Since perishable vegetable and fruit commodities rich in light-sensitive nutraceuticals have a specific shelf life, these run the risk of getting spoilt beyond a specific time. Excessive quantities of such materials must, therefore, be processed and converted into value added fortified products with improved shelf life and nutrition value.
Today, nutraceuticals have evolved from their traditional background to a highly scientific field where the efficacy and safety of the products are backed by evidence, new research, and developing technologies.

NUTRACEUTICALS IN DIEASES MANAGMENTS
Cancer: Chemopreventive effect of lycopene (tomato) on the development and progression of prostate cancer is well studied. Other nutraceutical sources include green tea (Epigallocatechine-3-gallate; EGCG), cruciferous vegetables (isothiocyanates), nuts and vegetable oils (tocopherols) and soybean (isoflavones). Furthermore, the compounds which are known to be anticancer antioxidants are Vitamin-C (citrus, red algae, brown algae), Vitamin-E (green algae, brown algae), carotene (red, green, brown algae, cyanobacteria), curcumin (turmeric), and lycopene (tomato, gac, watermelon, papaya).
Ocular health: In human diets, significant amounts of yellow carotenoids, zeaxanthin and lutein are reported to be found in egg yolks, yellow peppers, and yellow corn. Leafy greens are rich in lutein but do not typically retain high zeaxanthin levels. Apart from carotenoids, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are also known to be beneficial in ocular health.
DIFFERENT COLORED FRUITS PROVIDE DIFFERENT PHOTOCHEIMICALS
Sleep Problem: Proteins rich in tryptophan help in dealing with sleep problems. Melatonin (tart cherries, banana, grape) rich foods are also beneficial in this regard.
Cardiovascular diseases: Compounds helpful in the prevention of coronary heart diseases include cinnamaldehyde (cinnamon), sulphoraphane (broccoli), resveratrol (grapes), luteolin (celery, green peppers, carrots, oregano), quercetin (tea, apples, onion), and omega-3-fatty acids (walnuts, chia, flaxseed, salmon, sardines).
Neurodegenerative disorders: Dementia is caused due to physical changes in the brain. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, although there are other types of dementia. Vitamin B12, Vitamin-D (mushrooms, salmon, fish oil, sardines, milk, orange, tuna), folic acid, and Vitamin-A are found to be very beneficial and useful for preventive action. Parkinson’s disease is another important neurodegenerative disorder. Nutraceuticals rich in EGCG (green tea), quercetin, resveratrol, rosmarinic acid (rosemary), carnosic acid, and melatonin (tart cherries, banana, grapes) are helpful in the prevention of the disease.
