Pertinence of nutriments for a stalwart body

Abstract

Nutrition plays a significant role in the prevention and treatment of common diseases. Some superb dietary choices such as functional foods and nutriments can surely help fight against certain diseases and provide various advantages to an individual’s health. Plants have been regarded as a primary source of highly effective conventional drugs leading to the development of potential novel agents, which may boost the treatment. Growing demand for functional foods acts as an aid for the producers to expand in agriculture and pave the way for innovation and research by the nutraceutical industry. The given review highlights how various functional foods such as tomatoes, chocolates, garlic and flaxseed are currently being defined, their sources, benefit in treating various ailments and the challenges with their use.

Biological potential of eight medicinal plants collected in the restored landscape after mining in South Kalimantan

“…However, the methanol extract of L. cernuum had an IC 50 of > 1,000 µg/mL, indicating that it does not have antioxidant activity. This finding is consistent with the qualitative phytochemical results, which showed that the tested L. cernuum methanol extract does not contain flavonoid or alkaloid compounds, which are both known to have antioxidant activity [90,91]. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the methanol extracts of M. malabathricum, T. micrantha, C. odorata, D. linearis and B. cernua have more effective antioxidant activities than those from virgin lands with lower doses or IC 50 .…”

Antioxidant activity, metabolic profiling, in-silico molecular docking and ADMET analysis of nano selenium treated sesame seed bioactive compounds as potential novel drug targets against cardiovascular disease related receptors

“…Bioinformatics, and specifically drug docking is a new approach to the check the potential of different bioactive compounds to be used as potential drug targets. In order to screen the role of sesame bioactive compounds against CVD, Hemoglobin beta subunit protein (HBB) was used as target protein for sesame bioactive compounds [ [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] ].…”

Methanolic extract of S. securidaca flowers, leaves, and seeds' antihyperlipidemic effects on high fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia in Wistar rats

“…Heart disease is linked to several cardiometabolic risk factors, including hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. Triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (CT), cholesterol of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and cholesterol of the high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) all rise at higher rates in dyslipidemia, a metabolic disorder that is very common (Bakhtiyari et al, 2022;Kaur et al, 2021;Guilbert, 2003).…”
