Wild food consumption has declined over the last generation owing to life-style changes and lower availability, and it is still consumed by marginalized communities. WFPs are available in a broad range of species and flavors that can help diversify the diet and make meals more enjoyable. Therefore, enhancing the availability and consumption of pro-cessed foods manufactured from wild plants is necessary. The increased use of processed prod-ucts formulated from edible wild plants can improve nutrition and protect ecological and cultural varieties. They are high in vitamins and micro-and macronutrients, which are essential for com-munities particularly vulnerable to malnutrition and imbalanced health. As plants develop natu-rally without the use of pesticides or other fertilizers, wild-food plants are typically considered more sustainable than commercial crops. Wild plants contain phytochemicals with various phar-macological and biological properties. Consuming WFPs should be done with caution and mod-eration, because some wild plants can be hazardous or harmful if consumed in large quantities or without adequate preparation.

Reduced agricultural output as a result of climate change and increased demand for grains because of continuous population growth have created a gap between demand and supply of food. Buckwheat is a pseudocereal crop plant with high nutritional value that can be included as an alternate food in our diet. It is a traditional crop plant grown in the high mountains of the Himalayas for food as well as fodder. It completes its life cycle in 3-4 months, so is mostly grown as a second crop in between main crops like maize and barley. It also acts as a green manure by improving the phosphorus content of the soil. Buck-wheat has high nutritional value as it is rich in essential amino acids, vitamin B, trace elements, and other nutrients. The main bioactive compounds identified in buckwheat are rutin, quercetin, isoquercetin, d-chiroinositol, resveratol, and vitexin, which are responsible for its pharmacolog-ical properties. Research focused on value addition by exploring its nutritional, pharmaceutical, and other alternative uses of commercial importance, is needed for reviving buckwheat cultiva-tion practices and its conservation.

This paper reviews the contributions of key antioxidants, including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, green tea extract, Coenzyme Q10, Resveratrol, Selenium, and Polyphenols, in skin health care. Vitamin C, known for its collagen synthesis promotion and photoprotection properties, alongside Vitamin E, a lipid-soluble antioxidant, syn-ergistically works to neutralize free radicals and repair damaged skin cells. Vitamin A, in the form of retinol, plays a critical role in skin cell regeneration and the maintenance of skin integ-rity. Green tea extract, rich in Polyphenols, offers anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic prop-erties, making it a potent ingredient for skin protection. Coenzyme Q10, a naturally occurring antioxidant in the body, aids in energy production for cell repair and regeneration, while Resveratrol, found in grapes and berries, provides anti-ageing benefits by enhancing skin's re-sistance to oxidative stress. Selenium, an essential mineral, contributes to the protection of skin cells from oxidative damage. The incorporation of these antioxidants in skincare products and dietary sources is discussed, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach in skincare re-gimes. The paper emphasizes the synergy between topical applications and dietary intake of antioxidants, advocating for a comprehensive strategy for promoting skin health and preventing age-related skin alterations. Method: For the review article, a variety of search engines and databases were used to identify relevant articles. Furthermore, for biomedical literature focusing on antioxidants and their ef-fects on skin health, PubMed was used. Moreover, to access a wide range of scholarly articles, including those related to dermatology and skincare, Google Scholar was used. Scopus provides comprehensive coverage of peer-reviewed literature across various scientific disciplines. Web of Science identifies high-impact articles and research on antioxidants in skincare. In addition, for accessing full-text articles on antioxidants and their applications in dermatology, Science Direct was used. The inclusion criteria for the review paper were as follows: only studies pub-lished in peer-reviewed journals were included to ensure the credibility and reliability of the information. Articles published in English were considered, to avoid language-related biases and ensure comprehension. Studies published within the last 10 years were included to provide the most current insights into antioxidant research in skincare.

Recent reports have demonstrated the presence of microplastics in marine life, and directly becoming a part of the food chain when seafood is ingested by humans. The repercussions of these studies point to an even larger scale presence of microplastics across varied habitats, which are yet to be sampled.

Carotenoids, found in a variety of natural sources like fruits and vegetables, are known for their potential health benefits. Emerging research suggests that certain carotenoids may play a major role in combating obesity through mechanisms involving inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid metabolism. Understanding the influence of carotenoids on metabolic health could offer valuable revelation about obesity management strategies. To summarize the main findings on carotenoids that help in the management and prevention of obesity, exploring their potential benefits in weight management, metabolic health, and overall well-being. An extensive literature survey was done on the management of obesity using PubMed, Elsevier, ScienceDirect, and Springer. The results were then filtered based on the titles, abstracts, and accessibility of the complete texts. The search engine Google Scholar was accessed for the literature data mining. This review highlights the diverse functions of carotenoids, such as their antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and regulation of lipid metabolism, which contribute to their potential role in combating obesity. Studies suggest that carotenoids may help reduce adiposity, lipid accumulation, improve insulin sensitivity, and promote overall metabolic health, making them promising candidates for obesity management. Obesity is synonymous with the appearance of major diseases and an overall decline in physical and mental performance.
