The term ‘Nutraceutical’ was first devised in 1989 by Stephen Defelice, and it is defined as “any substance that is a food or a part of the food and provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease”.1 These nutraceuticals including the isolated nutrients, dietary supplements (minerals, vitamins, amino acids, and herbs), specific diets to genetically engineered designer foods, and phytochemicals (flavonoids, phytosterols, polyphenols, tannins) promised to have beneficial health effects besides the traditional nutrition values found in food. There is a significant association between the dietary habit and the determination of chronic diseases such as cataract, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, gallstones, inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s/Parkinson’s/Huntington’s disease), obesity, and several types of cancers.2,3 So, the nutraceuticals have been used to improve health and increase the life expectancy, delay the aging process and prevent chronic diseases, or support the structure and/or function of the body. The major benefits of nutraceuticals over pharmaceuticals include lesser or no adverse effects, economically affordable, easily available, multiple therapeutic effects, and increase the health value by improving medical condition of humans. Recently, the nutraceuticals have received substantial attention due to their potential nutritional values, safety, and therapeutic effects. Accordingly, the recent analysis by BCC research proposed that the global nutraceutical market is expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%, would reach US $285.0 billion by 2021 from US $198.7 billion in 2016.4 This short review highlights the emerging scope of nutraceuticals as alternative medications for the health management and treatment of several chronic diseases.

Despite advances in scientific research, the prevalence of dyslipidemias (DLP), Hypertension (SAH) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) continues to increase worldwide.1–6 These are the main risk factors for the cardiovascular diseases that generally affect the heart’s autonomic nervous system, this being the subject of intensive scientific research. These studies suggest that a decrease in the vagal tone may precede the development of one of these critical risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Thus, over the last few years this system has been the subject of intensive research. One of the outstanding methods used in the research was the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) study, due to its great disease forecasting power, a lower HRV being associated with greater cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.7–10 As metabolic and cardiovascular diseases have reached epidemic proportions worldwide and are difficult to cure, complementary medicine based on quantum physics has awakened great interest and opened up new research perspectives and areas, such as magnetobiology and biomagnetism.11,12

Autism is a developmental disorder which is characterized by impaired social communication, interaction, stereotypic behaviors and restricted interests. Signs and symptoms of Autism are still unclear.1 Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is a syndrome which manifests during early childhood. The characteristic features of ASD include abnormal or unreciprocated interpersonal & emotional interactions, disturbed language & communication, and repetitive & stereotypic behavior.2 Global prevalence of ASD ranges from 0.07% to 1.8%. In India prevalence rate of ASD is 1.2%. Male gender and upper socio economic status had a higher risk of Autism.3 There is a little evidence of any ‘cure’ for Autism.4 Parents of autistic children mostly prefer alternative therapies for improving developmental progression in language skills and social interactions. People often turn to ‘Complementary and alternative medicine’ (CAM) when they have a chronic problem that conventional medicine hasn’t cured. Certain treatments, diets, behavioral therapies, herbal remedies have shown promising effects on autism patients.5

The National Institutes of Health Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) define and describe the “CAM” movement as a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not yet considered to be part of traditional medicine.2 Complementary medicine is used in conjunction with conventional medicine, and alternative medicine is sometimes used in place of traditional western medicine. CAM treatments are often used in addition to and integrated with traditional medical treatments.

Stress remains a common factor in modern work life, and resilience building strategies have been shown to support and enhance natural human adaptability in overcoming workplace stress. This study examines the resilience and well-being building efficacy of Loving-Kindness Meditation (LKM). Following initial training with employees of Microsoft Corporation in the United Kingdom, through a seven-week intervention, participants (N = 13) regularly practiced LKM, comparing results with a wait-list control group (N = 15). The study showed significant increases in psychological resilience in the experimental group, along with reduced depression, anxiety and stress; while the control group changes remained insignificant. Overall, the results and prior literature suggest that LKM practice is an effective strategy for building resilience, improving employee adaptability to stress at work and so increasing employee value.

Cancer is a multifactorial disease which gives rise to the formation of rapidly dividing abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and invade adjoining tissues of the body by spreading into other organs through the process of metastases. It is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. The cancer incidence has been increasing at an alarming rate and with modern diagnostic techniques more cancer cases are coming to light than ever before. In India usually 700,000 cancer cases are diagnosed annually and the figure is suspected to increase by five folds in the year 2025.1 It is expected that 1,688,780 new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed out of which approximately 600,920 patients of cancer would have succumbed to death in the year 2017 in the United states alone.2
