Kombucha tea, a fermented beverage produced from sweetened tea and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY), is a prominent example within this category. This review explores the definition, bioactive components, and health benefits of kombucha, emphasizing its potential roles as a functional beverage in the prevention and management of various diseases.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>The fermentation process of kombucha tea, typically lasting up to 14 days, results in the transformation of sugar into ethanol and acetic acid, contributing to its distinctive tangy flavor. Kombucha contains bioactive compounds such as organic acids, antioxidants, and probiotics, which are linked to potential health benefits including improved digestive health, enhanced immune function, and antioxidant activity. Recent advancements in sustainable production methods and innovative formulations have further contributed to the increasing popularity of this beverage. Kombucha tea, originating in Northeast China with a history of over 2,000 years, is increasingly recognized for its potential health-promoting effects. Its production through traditional fermentation methods combined with modern innovations underscores its value as a functional beverage with the potential to support health and well-being. This review assesses the roles of kombucha in maintaining human health, considering its use as a complementary strategy for the prevention and management of diseases due to the bioactive components it contains.</p>","PeriodicalId":10844,"journal":{"name":"Current Nutrition Reports","volume":"14 1","pages":"69"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12103323/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144136052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adipokines produced by adipose cells are essential regulators of metabolism, glucose homeostasis, and inflammatory response. It also protects vascular endothelial cells for its potential implications for cardiovascular protection. Understanding its intricate involvement in adipose tissue-endothelial communication is critical in developing targeted therapeutics to treat cardiovascular conditions linked with obesity and metabolic dysregulation. Spices from the Zingiberaceae family, such as cardamom, turmeric, and ginger, have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties that help reduce oxidative stress, vascular dysfunction, and adipocyte-endothelial crosstalk which are all linked to the etiology of CVD.

This review examines the role of prehabilitation, nutrition, psychological support, physical activity, and pharmacologic treatment in improving the effectiveness of BS.</p><p><strong>Recent findings: </strong>Despite the benefits of prehabilitation, there are significant differences in the way it is implemented in different healthcare centers. Protocols vary widely in terms of duration, components and intensity, leading to inconsistencies in patient preparation and postoperative recovery. Many patients still do not receive multidisciplinary support from dietitians, psychologists or physiotherapists prior to surgery, which can affect long-term outcomes. Barriers to effective prehabilitation include a lack of standardized guidelines, insufficient healthcare resources and limited patient adherence due to lack of awareness, low motivation or logistical constraints. Despite its proven benefits, structured prehabilitation lasting at least 3-6 months is not available to all patients, as access remains unequal and suboptimal in many healthcare settings. Prehabilitation is an important but underutilized component of BS preparation. Standardizing protocols and ensuring multidisciplinary, patient-centered support are essential to maximizing surgical benefit.
