Use of Phytochemicals as Functional Food: An Overview
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Functional foods have potentially positive effect on health outside basic nutrition and the advocates of functional foods claim that they encourage optimal health and help to reduce disease risks. Staggering evidence from epidemiological, in vivo, in vitro, and clinical trial data suggests that plant-based diet can reduce the risk of several diseases. Mounting evidence supports the widely accepted notion that functional foods containing biologically-active components, either from plant or animal origin, not only enhance health but also prevents from diseases. However, functional foods are not a magic bullet or universal nostrum for poor health habits.
