Research Summary
Functional foods are food products that are enriched with specific nutrients, vitamins, minerals, or bioactive compounds to provide additional health benefits beyond basic nutrition. These foods are designed to promote optimal health, enhance well-being, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Functional foods may include fortified foods such as fortified milk with added vitamin D, omega-3 enriched eggs, probiotic yogurt containing beneficial bacteria, antioxidant-rich fruit juices, and fiber-enhanced cereals. They can also encompass naturally occurring functional foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds that are naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, and phytonutrients with health-promoting properties. Common health benefits associated with functional foods include improved digestive health, strengthened immune function, reduced inflammation, enhanced heart health, better weight management, and improved cognitive function. The development and consumption of functional foods align with preventive healthcare strategies and promote the concept of food as medicine, emphasizing the role of diet in supporting overall health and well-being. Regulatory agencies such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) closely monitor and regulate the labeling, marketing, and health claims associated with functional foods to ensure consumer safety and accurate information dissemination.
