“…Regarding particular types, citrus fruits and dark-coloured berries have compelling effects on cardiovascular risk factors, 56,57 as they are low in calories and contain vitamin C, fibre, and non-essential antioxidants (e.g., anthocyanins in dark-coloured berries) that can modulate vascular function. [58][59][60] In addition, despite the high concentration of calories, avocado elicits improvement in lipid indices and low-grade inflammation due to a food matrix effect based mainly on monounsaturated fatty acids (like oleic acids), fibre, and potassium. 61,62 Cocoa powder can also be a food item with cardiometabolic benefits to be added to breakfast recipes (pancakes, porridges, cakes, mixed with milk, etc.)…”

Breakfast consumption is generally considered a health‐promoting habit for cardiometabolism, particularly with regard to chrononutrition. Glucose uptake is enhanced by proper insulin secretion triggered by the pancreatic clock, averting metabolic dysregulation related to insulin resistance. Breakfast skipping, in turn, is often considered a behaviour detrimental to health, in part due to putative inverse metabolic actions compared to breakfast consumption, such that breakfast skipping may promote circadian desynchrony. However, most ill health concerns about breakfast skipping are inferred from observational research, and recent well‐controlled randomized clinical trials have shown benefits of breakfast skipping for cardiovascular risk factors. Accordingly, this review describes the effects of breakfast consumption versus breakfast skipping on cardiovascular risk factors (blood pressure and glycaemic and lipid indices). In addition, the view of breakfast consumption as an opportunity for functional food ingestion is considered to provide further insights into decision‐making practice. Collectively, both breakfast consumption and breakfast skipping can be considered viable habits, but they depend on individual preferences, planning, and the specific foods being consumed or omitted. When consumed, breakfast should consist primarily of functional foods typical for this meal (e.g., eggs, dairy products, nuts, fruits, whole grains, coffee, tea, etc.). While breakfast consumption aligns with chrononutrition principles, breakfast skipping can contribute to a calorie deficit over time, which has the potential for widespread cardiometabolic benefits for patients with overweight/obesity. The concepts and practical considerations discussed in the present review may aid health care personnel in personalising breakfast consumption recommendations for diverse patient populations.

“…Despite the potential of berry consumption to control BP, clinical results lack consensus due to the wide range of berries and doses used in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (Huang et al, 2016; Santos, 2019). To date, blueberries and cranberries are berry fruits with the most RCTs focusing on BP control.…”

Blueberries and cranberries are berry fruits with the highest number of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) focusing on blood pressure (BP). This systematic review and meta‐analysis of RCTs analyzed the effects of blueberry and cranberry supplementation alone and in concert with systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) in patients with cardiometabolic diseases. The searches were performed until August 2023 in the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Embase. Studies that examined the effects of blueberry or cranberry intake/supplementation were included. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Rob 2 scale. A meta‐analysis was performed to estimate the effects of blueberry and cranberry supplementation on BP levels in patients with cardiometabolic diseases. A total of 17 articles were included, from which two found significant results from blueberry and/or cranberry supplementation in reducing BP. Pooled results revealed statistically non‐significant reductions of −0.81 mm Hg for SBP (95% confidence interval [CI]: −2.26, 0.63; I2 = 0%) and −0.15 mm Hg for DBP (95% CI: −1.36, 1.05; I2 = 27%). Blueberry and/or cranberry supplementation had neutral effects on SBP and DBP in patients with cardiometabolic diseases, regardless of duration or age. Further high‐quality studies are needed to firmly establish clinical efficacy.

Dada à tendência crescente do consumo do açaí-fruto objetivou-se sumariar dados referentes aos parâmetros tecnológicos, comerciais e nutracêuticos do açaí (Euterpe oleracea) explorado no Brasil. Os dados foram apresentados na forma descritiva, após a revisão integrativa da literatura. Notou-se que a exploração comercial do açaí, por ser uma atividade relativamente recente (década de 1990), precisa de ajustes tecnológicos relacionados ao sistema de produção. Há necessidade de estudos referentes ao melhoramento do açaizeiro visando disponibilizar novas cultivares para o plantio em terra firme. Atualmente, o maior entrave na cadeia produtiva do açaí refere-se ao transporte do campo para os entrepostos e/ou indústria de processamento e a logística de distribuição do produto processado. A alta incidência da informalidade ocasiona contaminação e descaracterização dos produtos colocando em riscos à saúde do consumidor. Por ser um produto altamente perecível, mesmo sob refrigeração, torna-se primordial pesquisas direcionadas para tecnologias de processamento, e conservação do açaí. Observou-se ser imprescindível intensificar a fiscalização sanitária nos locais de venda direta ao consumidor e agroindústrias de processamento levando em consideração o fato da polpa do açaí ser alcalina, facilitando a proliferação de fungos e bactérias, além do risco de transmissão oral da Doença de Chagas. Pesquisas comprovaram efeitos benéficos para a saúde humana de alguns compostos bioativos presentes no açaí. Em termos de uso como fármacos vislumbra-se diversas alternativas de emprego na área da saúde a curto e médio prazo. Tal aptidão tem despertado o interesse de pesquisas na comunidade científica nacional e internacional.
