Nutrition and Supplements - Functional Foods Are Becoming More Popular

 

 

Functional Foods Are Becoming More Popular
By: D. S. Epperson

Established in 1989 by Stephen DeFelice, "Foundation for Innovation in Medicine" defined "Nutraceutical", as a food, dietary suppplement, or medical food that has a medical or health benefit, including the prevention and treatment of disease. Today, it is hard to separate the definition of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods. In 2002, the Nutraceutical or Functional Food industry had evolved into a lucrative 20.2 billion dollar a year market, and is here to stay.

According to a Business Communications Co, Inc. report, "Functional/Nutraceutical/Wellness Foods and Beverages" (RGA-109R), the Nutraceutical or Functional Food industry could almost double in value by 2007 with sales estimated to be more than 37.7 billion dollars. The reason for this growth:

Increased interest in maintaining better health.

Increased information available regarding the link between diet and health.

Lack of health insurance or limited funds for consumers to spend on health care and prescription medication.

Recent changes in food laws that affect label and product claims.

A growing number of people who are aging and interested in a more healthy lifestyle.

Current health issues also influence the market, consumers are interested in weight loss and weight management, heart disease, bone density, cancer, diabetes, ect., how to prevent or recover from these diseases and lead more nutritious lives.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection   (excerpt)

You are about to gain insight into the mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and bodies, you can learn to use this fact to your benefit.


Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and Miracles" was once a distraught cancer surgeon until he began to understand the greater principles of the mind- body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial barriers that existed between patient and doctor, and the helplessness he often felt as a result of his inability to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those barriers were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition and growing understanding of the mind-body connection and how it could serve his patients and himself.

Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and attitude about their
disease.
