Meals in the future will not only nourish our organismo.
each food will have a specific role in the prevention and treatment of diseases ranging from a common cold to cancer. This is because a new branch of science, nutraceuticals, investigates the benefits of foods and how they act on the diseases that most afflict humanity.
The secret is the so-called bioactive compounds (lycopene, flavonoids and others) found in some fruits, vegetables and some fish, also in yogurt and fermented milk, which revolutionized the concepts and theories of human nutrition. "Adequate nutrition and moderate exercise can reduce up to 40% incidence of cancer in the world," announces nutritionist Jocelem Salgado, the Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz Queiroz, Piracicaba-SP.
The main challenge of nutraceuticals, is to study these components, isolate them and find the optimal amount to prevent or treat disease. Often not even need to resort to conventional medication, you may simply indicate which foods are, and the amount to be ingested to cure a disease through food. We now know that good nutrition can prevent or even cure diseases, because our body is stronger and more resilient to combat the bacteria causing various diseases.
