Abstract

Purpose of review: The Amazon region has a high biodiversity of flora, with an elevated variety of fruits, such as Camu-Camu (Myrciaria dúbia), Açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), Tucumã (Astrocaryum aculeatum and Astrocaryum vulgare), Fruta-do-conde (Annona squamosa L.), Cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum), Graviola (Annona muricata L.), Guarana (Paullinia cupana Kunth var. sorbilis), and Pitanga (Eugenia uniflora), among many others, that are rich in phytochemicals, minerals and vitamins with prominent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential.

Recent findings: Studies evaluating the chemical composition of these fruits have observed a high content of nutrients and bioactive compounds. Such components are associated with significant biological effects in treating various non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and related complications. Regular intake of these fruits from Amazonas emerges as a potential therapeutic approach to preventing and treating NCDs as a nutritional strategy to reduce the incidence or mitigate common complications in these patients, which are the leading global causes of death. As studies remain largely unexplored, this narrative review discusses the possible health-beneficial effects for patients with NCDs.

亚马逊水果治疗非传染性疾病。

审查目的：亚马逊地区的植物具有高度的生物多样性，水果种类繁多，如 Camu-Camu（Myrciaria dúbia）、Açaí（Euterpe oleracea Mart.）、Tucumã（Astrocaryum aculeatum 和 Astrocaryum vulgare）、Fruta-do-conde（Annona squamosa L.这些水果富含植物化学物质、矿物质和维生素，具有显著的抗氧化和消炎潜力：最近的研究结果：对这些水果的化学成分进行评估的研究发现，它们含有大量营养成分和生物活性化合物。这些成分在治疗各种非传染性疾病（NCD）和相关并发症方面具有显著的生物效应。作为一种营养策略，定期摄入亚马逊河流域的这些水果成为预防和治疗非传染性疾病的一种潜在治疗方法，可降低这些患者的发病率或减轻其常见并发症，而这些并发症是导致全球死亡的主要原因。由于相关研究在很大程度上仍未得到探讨，本综述将讨论对非传染性疾病患者可能产生的健康益处。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
