Current research on antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity potential of food extracts

Abstract

The immune-inflammatory, glucose homeostasis, and antioxidant response have a crucial role in the prevention of non-communicable chronic diseases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). As people live longer in society, the lifestyle of human changes and the prevalence of age-related degenerative diseases and obesity is likewise rising quickly. One of the subfields of nutritional sciences, which covers the study of nutrients and other food ingredients with an emphasis on how they affect mammalian physiology, health, and behaviour, is nutritional biochemistry. Immunonutrition is a new and interdisciplinary field within Nutritional Biochemistry since it encompasses many elements of nutrition, immunity, inflammation, oxidation, and illnesses with an immunometabolic basis. One of the promising ingredients that are currently being assessed by scientists in terms of immunonutrition is food extracts.
