Nutraceutical Insight into Vegetables and their Potential for Nutrition Mediated Healthcare



The connection between food and good health is not a new concept. Vegetables
are being used as a source of nutrition since long. Dietary active components are essential for the
normal functioning of the human body.



The study basically involves all the three categories of research methodologies, including
analytic, descriptive and historical. It involves secondary data from scientific reports, books, and
journals.



Vegetables can be considered as nutraceuticals since they supply bioactive compounds effective
in decreasing the risk of many diseases. Vegetables are considered to be protective foods since
they contain low calories and higher vitamins and minerals. Vegetables are potentially suitable against
civilization diseases, which are caused by the lack of nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants
(vitamin E, vitamin C, β-carotene, selenium, zinc, cryptoxanthin, lycopene etc), and other micronutrients.



The presence of bioactive compounds like phytochemicals offers nutraceutical values to
vegetables. Nutraceutical rich vegetables have been established to have a role in gastrointestinal disorders,
cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and other diseases. Vegetables and fruits not only
have the potential to stop the growth of disease but also can cure many diseases and boost the immune
system.
