Dịch giúp em với ạ You may have heard of “functional foods”, also termed nutraceuticals, and perhaps you’re wondering if all the hype is true. Whole foods and packaged foods alike are now marketed to benefit everything from your intestines to your heart to your memory. Functional foods are foods that have health benefits beyond normal nutrition. Functional foods range from cereals and bars enriched with folic acid to your average tomato or cup of green tea, while nutraceuticals are more commonly sold in pill form.Often, a food is termed functional because it contains a high amount of phytochemicals. These natural, active plant chemicals have been found to boost health. Phytochemcials are plentiful in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, soy foods, and many herbs and spices (parsley, chives, garlic and ginger). The presence of antioxidants in a food is another reason it can be termed “functional”. Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, E, and the mineral selenium, work to destroy harmful particles in the blood that can lead to heart problems and other complications. Examples of foods with antioxidants include tea (catechins), wine or grape juice (resveratrol), berries (flavonoids such as quercetin) and citrus foods (flavonoids/limonoids).Below is a list of the top 10 healthful functional foods. This January, treat yourself to at least one food from the list below each day, and rotate your choices through the categories for optimal nutrition and healthy eating all year long.
