Nutraceuticals Foods: Eat to heal

The merger of the words nutrition and therapeutic comes a new term nutraceutical. This is used to refer to all compounds or natural substances that have therapeutic effects.

It differs from the herbs and extracts for their therapeutic action, without being natural remedies because they are biologically. Nor to be confused with “functional foods”, because the latter improve health without curing disease.

A nutraceutical can be any natural dietary supplement, or a bioactive substance of a fresh food whose consumption provides health benefits and to treat disease. Example of a nutraceutical may be the yogurt.

While no one can say that can cure a disease only through food, can say that can prevent and avoid disease development only through nutracéticos. Food is one of the resources that we can avail ourselves when we are sick.
