Abstract

The prevalence of obesity has been increasing worldwide, which has also led to a dramatic increase in the risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome. Complex interactions among neuroanatomical, genetic, endocrinological, pathophysiological, nutritional, physical, psychological, and social–environmental factors are the reasons of energy balance in humans. Pharmacotherapy to tackle obesity is required as adjunctive support to diet, exercise, and lifestyle modification. Human and animal studies provide evidence to support the insistence that the use of dietary bioactive compounds can increase thermogenesis and energy expenditure (EE), providing additional benefits in preventing obesity. Bioactives are essential and nonessential compounds that occur in nature as part of our food chain that has an effect on our human health. The role of bioactives is to reduce adipose tissue mass and adipocyte size, which lead to improvements in insulin sensitivity. Some dietary bioactives are polyphenols, curcumin, tea, and resveratrol. Lifestyle modification is the mainstay in obesity management. Diet, exercise, and positive attitude form pillars of weight control.
