Negative Effects Of Neutraceuticals
Abstract:
The use of functional foods and nutraceuticals promotes the quality and length of life in patients suffering with cancer. Examples of nutraceuticals of interest includes antioxidant vitamins like vitamin-C & E, carotenoids improves the efficacy of cancer therapy by improving immune functions, increasing tumour response to radiation or chemotherapy, decreasing toxicity to normal cells. Healthy diet is very important in today’s lifestyle because good food can protect health, strengthen immune system, fight off cancer and other diseases. Moreover today’s lifestyle choices such as smoking, drinking, a lack of exercise and an unhealthy diet are a great start to an anticancer lifestyle. Diet has a powerful effect on our health.

Neutraceuticals are the combination of two words the “nutrients” and “pharmaceuticals”.neutraceuticals can be defined as that “These are the part of the food that helps in terms of medicine against any specific disease and these are also considerd as the nutrients which provides the health benefits including the prevention and treatment of any specific disease”.The concept of neutraceuticals is not very new,this concept is coming from elderly people e.g iodine is added to the salt to avoid the goiter,this method is coming from ancient times (Andlaur & Furst,2002).There are many neutraceuticals which we are using against different diseases.CANCER is the one of the most largest disease which is causing casualties and according to a survey in 2020 there will be 50% rise in the deaths due to cancer and almost we can face 15million new cases of cancer.It is a public health issue.A healthy diet can prevent and avoid the risks of cancer.It is by research that the people who eat lutien-rich diet for example green leafy vegetables,chicken eggs,oranges and tomatoes experienced lowest chances of colon cancer.Chronic inflammation is the main thing that enhance the risk of cancer as like …show more content…
o Activates the anti inflamtory activity o Inhibit the cancer invasion o Anti metastatis o Inhibits cell proliferation o Induce cell differeration o Induce apoptosis o Induce phase2 enzymes o Inacetive phase1 enzymes
And it can be said that it inhibits the precancerous lesion, inhibits the cancer growth and stop the tumor to grow and it has both effects chemotherapeutic effect and chemopreventive effects.there are many more neutraceuticals that can be helpful in cancer treatment and these can be listed as that:
