Abstract
Objective: This extensive review aims to cover the health and nutritional benefits of su-perfoods. It also discusses the macro- and micronutrients of amla, maca, jackfruit, Brazil nuts, and goji berries. Additionally, we explore the potential of superfoods to protect against chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and cancer.
Methods: A comprehensive investigation was carried out to find published literature using Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus. In addition to Boolean operators (AND, OR), keywords such as "su-perfood," "bioactive compounds," "functional foods," and "health benefits" were integrated. Super-foods, their bioactive ingredients, and potential health benefits based on preclinical or clinical data were the subject of permitted research. Research on isolated or synthesized substances unrelated to superfoods, articles without experimental data, and non-peer-reviewed databases were excluded.
Results: Our research reveals that superfoods include health-promoting phytochemicals, carotenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols. They may prevent diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity. In conclusion, superfoods improve health and wellness in numerous ways.
Conclusion: Superfoods prevent chronic illnesses and improve health. This review discusses the nu-tritional content and health advantages of superfoods, which may encourage their consumption. More research is needed to promote global health and wellness using superfoods.
目的：这篇广泛的综述旨在涵盖超级食品的健康和营养益处。它还讨论了阿姆树、玛卡、菠萝蜜、巴西坚果和枸杞的宏量和微量营养素。此外，我们还探讨了超级食物预防慢性疾病的潜力，包括糖尿病、心血管疾病、认知能力下降和癌症。方法：通过Web of Science、PubMed、Scopus检索已发表文献，进行综合调查。除了布尔运算符（AND， OR）外，还整合了“超级食品”、“生物活性化合物”、“功能食品”和“健康益处”等关键词。基于临床前或临床数据的超级食品，其生物活性成分和潜在的健康益处是允许研究的主题。对与超级食品无关的分离或合成物质的研究、没有实验数据的文章和非同行评审数据库均被排除在外。结果：我们的研究表明，超级食物包括促进健康的植物化学物质、类胡萝卜素、类黄酮和多酚。它们可以预防糖尿病、心血管疾病、癌症和肥胖等疾病。总之，超级食物在很多方面都能改善健康。结论：超级食物可以预防慢性疾病，增进健康。这篇综述讨论了超级食品的营养成分和健康优势，这可能会鼓励他们的消费。需要更多的研究来促进使用超级食品的全球健康和保健。
