SIGNIFICANT ROLE OF NUTRACEUTICALS AND FUNCTIONAL FOODS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF METABOLIC SYNDROME
AbstractMetabolic syndrome is the most widely and prevailing health concern globally. It is a cluster of biochemical and physiological abnormalities that involve obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Several studies have reported that the prevalence of the overall metabolic syndrome rate in adults is about 25% (approx. 31% in women and 18.5% in men) in India. Whereas the global prevalence is about 20-25% in 2020. The direct relationship between diet and health leads to various scientific studies to find the significant relation and their specific beneficial functions. Certain foods are thought to have physiological effects in the management of metabolic syndrome by assisting the body’s hemostasis mechanism. The present paper reviews different features of nutraceuticals and functional foods and their influence on the management of metabolic syndrome. Also, it overviews numerous functional ingredients in different food sources and their possible health benefits.
