Bioactive Food Ingredients in Managing Inflammatory Diseases

Inflammatory and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have a significant impact on public health as well as socio-economic conditions across the globe. According to the WHO (World Health Organization), NCDs kill a devastating 41 million humans every year. Sufficient nutrition and good health depend on eating a balanced diet. It guards against a variety of chronic NCDs, including cancer, diabetes and heart disease. A balanced diet must include a range of foods. Advances in science, technology, and the interpretation of food chemistry and biological functions by food researchers have led to a shift in consumers' perceptions of food functions, from satisfaction and nutrition to health. Long-term unhealthy diets cause many human chronic diseases, as epidemiological research demonstrates. Many bioactive food components, such as polyphenols, polysaccharides, flavonoids, peptides and saponins, offer multiple health benefits. Research also demonstrates that food plays a significant role in the majority of acute and chronic human diseases. In order to prevent chronic diseases, improve quality of life, and eventually develop new or enhanced healthy meals, it is crucial to have a deeper understanding of the bioaccessibility, safety concerns and underlying health-promoting mechanisms of food-derived bioactive components. Despite tremendous advancements in therapeutics, the cure of dreadful diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disease, colitis and rheumatoid arthritis is still a significant challenge. Furthermore, therapeutic repercussions in terms of side effects and the emergence of multi-drug resistance make therapeutics more complicated.
