Polysaccharides are an exceptionally regular kind of complex sugars, and you will in some cases hear them being suggested to just as starches [1]. The majority of the polysaccharides dissected in asparagus to date include the inulins and heteroxylans. These two huge groups of polysaccharides are not as regular in sustenances, particularly in concentrated sums. In creature contemplates, the polysaccharides in asparagus have been show to have both cell reinforcement and antitumor properties.As for the inulins, it is likewise important here that while asparagus isn't exactly as rich in these polysaccharides as chicory root or Jerusalem artichoke, it is as yet a very focus source [2]. Asparagus racemosus has a place with the family Liliaceae, and is regularly known as Satavari. In Thai, it is named Rak‑Sam‑Sib or on the other hand Sam‑Roi‑Rak. The plant is every now and again found at low heights in shaded territories and in tropical atmospheres all through Asia, Australia furthermore, Africa [3]. Steroidal saponins are the real constituents of the plant. The pharmacological exercises of A. racemosus root extricates have been accounted for, including antiulcer, cancer prevention agent, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, antidiarrhoeal, phytoestrogenic, against maturing and adaptogenic properties [4]. Base of A. racemosus can be utilized as a tonic, and is thought to be mixed with emollient, cooling, nerve tonic, obstructing, galactagogic, Spanish fly, diuretic, restoring, carminative, stomachic and germicide properties. The foundation of A. racemosus has a few helpful impacts that are proposed for the treatment of apprehensive issue, dyspepsia, the runs, tumors and irritation [5]. \u0000Asparagus along with cell reinforcement action is also a vegetable. Asparagus juice was created with new asparagus macerate treated with a carbohydrases blend at 37 °C for up to 8 h. Rutin , cancer prevention agent movement, yield, solvent strong substance, and shade of the delivered asparagus juice were resolved [6]. The outcomes demonstrated that Viscozyme, especially in the first hour, asparagus juice yield was higher than the control, but the juice was basically less rutin than the control and had most anti cancerous agents movement than control only in the first two hours.The juice treated with viscosity has a soluble strong substance that is significantly higher than the control [7]. The green part of asparagus juice is rapidly weakening both for the collection and control of Viscozyme. It had the advantage of creating a highly viscous juice cell reinforcement movement, and dissolvable strong substance in shorter time of treatment contrasted with control [8]. A pectolytic protein readiness from Aspergillus nigerimpaired most rutin substance and cell reinforcement movement of asparagus juice.

By 2050 people aging above 60 years will represent over 20% of the total population[[ii]]. In Pakistan 28.1% urban population and 25.07% rural population has been affected by knee osteoarthritis[[iii]]. Elderly people are more affected as compared to younger population. Obesity and overweight are major risk factors of osteoarthritis[[iv]]. Other contributing factors are smoking, gender, sarcopenia, regular stairs climbing and vitamin D deficiency[[v]]. Nowadays different studies are conducted to check the relation between life style and dietary factors with the occurrence of osteoarthritis[[vi]].\u0000Losina E et al., in 2013 concluded that patients above 50 years of age have more incidence rate of osteoarthritis about 57.16%[[vii]]. Statistical analysis of this study showed that 61% patients with osteoarthritis were overweight or obese. Out of these 35% were overweight and 26%were obese. Pereira D et al., in 2017 concludedin their study 68.3% patients were overweight and obese. Total 43.3% individuals were overweight with BMI less than 30 mg/m2 and individuals with BMI greater than 30 were 24.9% [[viii]].\u0000Socioeconomical status was considered as a major factor when knowledge, attitude and practices were being discussed, in a study 45% osteoarthritis patients were from lower class and lower middle class and 40% patients were from middle class. Out of these, 75% patients were from urban areas while 25% osteoarthritis patients came from rural areas. The association of socioeconomic status with respect to knowledge, attitude and practices was also shown by Cleveland RJ and colleagues. It concluded that the socioeconomical status played a role in increasing pain caused by osteoarthritis in lower class, were more prone towards developing osteoarthritis as compared to upper class, as they were performing more heavy domestic work as compared to upper class [[ix]].\u0000Perruccio AV et al., in 2016 investigated that knowledge played a major role, there was a significant association between lower education and increased pain. A person with knowledge, avoid excessive work out which is directly linked with pain intensity.Lower level of awareness and education about how to cope up with disease symptoms also played an important role in osteoarthritis[[x]]. Jones AC et al., in 2017 concluded that carbonated drinks played a major role in reducingbone mineral density (BMD) because of phosphoric acid present in it which leech out calcium from bones making them fragile and porous[[xi]].Based on results it was concluded that lack of knowledge and awareness about diet, disease, life style modifications, obesity, false, low income, gender, age, poor socioeconomic status and attitude and beliefs proved to be directly related with osteoarthritis. Majority of patients had inappropriate knowledge about disease which aggravate the symptoms of the disease.
