Diet has a strong influence on health so that people with good eating habits and moderate exercise decrease the chance of developing diseases. As a result, the consumption of foods containing compounds with a value-added to the per se nutrient value is recommended; these compounds are known as bioactive compounds, such as fiber and antioxidants, which have been related to the decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation present in obesity and that, when not treated, they trigger multiple conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular diseases. Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) is a fruit from Brazil that serves as a possible source of fiber-antioxidant by containing phenolic compounds and dietary fiber.
