The role of nutraceutical fruit drink on neurodegenerative diseases: a review
A changing lifestyle in food consumption due to the frequent taking of junk drinks based on the fastfood and ready-to-eat concept has brought about overloaded oxidative stress, thus weakening the bodyâs
defence mechanism to scavenge free oxygen radicals by destroying antioxidants. Oxidative stress occurs as
a result of an imbalance between pro and antioxidant levels in favour of pro-oxidants resulting in the
pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Though researches on the probable cure for neurodegenerative diseases are ongoing, fruits have been found to play an important dietetic role in preventing neurodegenerative diseases and other physiological disorders. Most fruits have their own valuable, unique active
ingredients, having tremendous nutraceutical potentials and therapeutic implications. Therefore, people
are required to make rational choices on the correct type of food for consumption to engender proper
growth and development. The role of fruits or fruit juice in ameliorating neurodegenerative diseases has
created a reawakening in nutrition and human health research
