Dietary interventions exhibit promising efficacy in managing diverse chronic conditions and diseases. However, strong
evidence and a structured framework are crucial before incorporating dietary interventions into health systems for their best
effectiveness and success. This comprehensive review examines the health benefits of incorporating fruits, vegetables, nuts,
herbs, and spices into dietary intake. These natural foods are abundant sources of essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants,
and anti-inflammatory compounds, offering a holistic approach to improving overall health and combating multiple
diseases. The phytochemicals present in fruits and vegetables play a crucial role in promoting health by exerting antioxidant,
anticancer, cardioprotective, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and effects within the human body. Particular attention
has been paid to spices commonly found in Indian kitchens, such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, pepper, and cloves,
which have been shown to possess significant therapeutic properties for managing various ailments. Regularly consuming
these plant-based foods provides a natural and effective means of obtaining these health-promoting phytochemicals. In
conclusion, this review underscores the importance of embracing a plant-rich diet to harness the numerous health benefits of
fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs, and spices. Overall, the findings describe the critical role of dietary choices in disease
prevention and management, highlighting the potential of food in promoting long-term health and well-being.
