Description : This new book provides detailed information on nutraceuticals that can be helpful in the control and management of obesity. It clarifies key aspects of nutraceuticals that include sources, extraction, chemistry, mechanisms of action, pharmacology, bioavailability, safety, and various applications. Beginning with a concise overview of the prevalence of obesity, complications related to obesity, and current treatment regimens, the volume delves into the roles of functional foods and nutraceuticals for the management of body weight and for alleviating obesity comorbidities. It goes on to discuss the effect of some of the most commonly and frequently used naturally occurring nutraceutical substances, along with their mechanisms of action in controlling obesity. The volume looks at the role of nutraceutical fruits as well as the beneficial aspects of carotenoids in fruits and vegetables and explores antioxidant-rich nutraceuticals, the role of vitamins and supplements, the use of green tea, and the potential of pseudocereals and spices in the management of metabolic syndrome.
