|
|
A functional food is a food given an additional function (often one related to health-promotion or disease prevention) by adding new ingredients or more of existing ingredients. The term may also apply to traits purposely bred into existing edible plants, such as purple or gold potatoes having enriched anthocyanin or carotenoid contents, respectively. Functional foods may be "designed to have physiological benefits and/or reduce the risk of chronic disease beyond basic nutritional functions, and may be similar in appearance to conventional food and consumed as part of a regular diet". |

Functional foods are more than just nutrition; they offer health benefits beyond basic sustenance. These foods contain bioactive compounds that promote overall well-being and help prevent diseases. Examples include probiotics in yogurt, omega-3-rich fish, and fiber-packed whole grains. Incorporating functional foods into daily diets enhances digestion, boosts immunity, and supports heart health. With growing awareness, platforms like theburgerpost.co.uk explore innovative food trends, highlighting how functional foods are shaping modern diets. As consumers prioritize wellness, the demand for nutrient-dense, health-boosting foods continues to rise, making functional food a vital part of the future of nutrition. |
