Abstract
The recent era is witnessing evaluation of medicinal and nutritional value of fruits and fruit juices for the management and prevention of brain diseases like headache stress, anxiety, hypertension, and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases by the scientists and researchers worldwide. Fruits possess various chemicals such as antioxidants and polyphenols, which reduce and balance the effect of hormone in brain responsible for brain disease. Natural remedy is cheap, easily available, nontoxic, and easy to prepare and provides good mental health as compared to other remedies. The main objective of this review is to acknowledge medicinal benefits of fruits for the cognition and management of brain disease.
Highlights
The potential of food as prophylactic and therapeutic agent versus diseases has begun to be acknowledged
A diet that is high in omega-3 fatty acids is earning accolades for reinforcing cognitive activity in humans [1] and upregulating genes that are vital for sustaining synaptic activity and agility in rodents [2]
The enhancement of hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) content and increased cognitive process in rodent models of brain trauma are observed during docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) dietary supplementation [23]
Summary
The potential of food as prophylactic and therapeutic agent versus diseases has begun to be acknowledged. A combination of nutrition and exercise is recommended to undo these probable ill health outcomes. The activity of brain is definitely based on appropriate nutrition, and short-term alterations in the quantity and makeup of nutrient intake in healthy individuals affect actions of cognitive processes. The dementia is often manifested by Alzheimer’s disease It causes severe suffering for the patients, in the form of progressive behavioral and neurological changes that include functional impairment, loss of independency, emotional problems, and behavioral disturbances [17]. A high risk of many mental disorders has been observed, such as attention-deficit disorder, dyslexia, dementia, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia when humans are omega-3 fatty acids deficient [18,19,20,21,22]. The enhancement of hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) content and increased cognitive process in rodent models of brain trauma are observed during DHA dietary supplementation [23]
